Ventanillas of Otuzco Day Trip
Ventanillas of Otuzco Day Trip
We'll pick you up at your hotel in Cajamarca at 3:30 pm for a very special excursion. Are you ready to travel back in time?
Our trip will begin with a drive to the village of Otuzco, passing the suspension bridge over the Chonta River. Whilst only travelling 4 miles (7 kilometres) away from the village we'll be able to visit the famous Ventanillas de Otuzco, a necropolis with more than 300 tombs carved into the volcanic rock.
This ancient cemetery belongs to the Caxamarca culture, which inhabited the area before the Incas and became part of the Inca Empire until the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors. During the trip, we’ll observe the window-shaped niches that give the complex its name and you'll learn all there is to know about the mysteries they hide.
The next stop on the tour will be Hacienda Tres Molinos, a traditional farm that produces dairy products such as cheese, butter and the sweet blancmange, a typical product of South America. The farm also has a magnificent outdoor area, the hydrangea garden, where we'll admire a great variety of flowers and fruits.
After the trip, we'll give you some free time to taste the delicious delicacies of the area and take a horseback ride around the hacienda. Once the tour is over, we'll return to your hotel, where we'll arrive at around 7 am.
