Day 01 CAJAMARCA

Day 02 CAJAMARCA
Morning excursion to Cumbemayo, an impressive complex of enigmatic stones, which includes a pre-Inca aqueduct, cut into the rock, a rock sanctuary as well as numerous petroglyphs. Although man inhabited the Cumbe Mayo area 9,000 years ago, hunting and using rudimentary stone tools, Cerro Consejo was modified from time to time by the Huacaloma, Layzon, Cajamarca and Inca civilizations. With its terraces, tracks, caves and waterholes hewn in the rock it was the most important populated area around the canal and, and as such, is perhaps one of the best places for scientists to understand the wise and ancient people who established their dominion over the water. In the afternoon, visit to the enigmatic windows of Otuzco. Cavities excavated in a rock face, of different depths and some with carvings in high relief. Academics (among them Julio C. Tello) consider them to be funeral caves. Whatever they were, they are a spectacular relic of the Cajamarca culture. Continuation to Tres Molinos farm, a hacienda where they make the best cheese in Peru. There is every type and flavor and visitors always end up buying butter, manjarblanco and other delicacies, after a generous tasting session.
