We start the tour with a pick-up at your hotel. A staff member will pick you up and take you to the vehicle that will be used for the excursion.
Departure to the town of Otuzco and visit to the Suspension Bridge of the Chonta River. The Otuzco Necropolis is located 7 km from the city of Cajamarca, also known as “Ventanillas de Otuzco.” It is a pre-Inca cemetery consisting of 337 tombs carved into the volcanic rock in the form of small windows. The niches and galleries are 8 to 10 metres deep, and each burial cavity is 50 or 60 cm. It is believed that the deceased were first buried in the ground, and then some bones and skulls were placed in the niches for veneration purposes. According to legend, through some of the windows you can reach galleries that lead to Cusco.
This sightseeing tour is complemented by a visit to the Hacienda Tres Molinos. The manor house is simply of unparalleled beauty and architectural style. In the stables, you can see the most productive dairy cows, and as an agro-industrial centre, in the “Los Alpes” factory, you will observe the production of dairy products such as cheese, butter, and manjar blanco.
Continuing along the path, in front of the stables, we can discover the “Garden of the Hydrangeas,” a beautiful Botanical Garden where we can see a wide variety of flowers and fruits of different types and sizes, with the sight of the large variety of Hydrangeas, characterised by their particular size, a real treat. We will also see handicrafts to take as souvenirs. You can also enjoy delicious typical foods from the region, sweets, or a tasty chicha de jora. We'll end our day trip in Plaza de Armas in Cajamarca.
