If you're in Oxapampa, then don't miss visiting two of the most charming towns in this district with this excursion to Pozuzo and Huancabamba. Culture, architecture, nature and many other attractions await you!
Pozuzo Tour
At 6:30 am we'll pick you up at your hotel in Oxapampa to start this tour through the province, where we'll visit its most iconic places.
For two hours, we'll enjoy the road trip surrounded by the Oxapampa countryside until we reach Huancabamba. There, we'll get out of the vehicle to visit the streets and parks of this area, and then we'll continue our way.
We'll pass the famous Rayantambo, Torrebamba and Yulitunqui waterfalls, and border the Yanachanga Chemillen National Park. Then we'll arrive in Pozuzo, the first Austro-German colony in Peru. Did you know that it was founded in 1859, shortly after the Peruvian government granted this land to the settlers?
We'll take a tour of the main square, the Colonists' cemetery, the church of San José and the Emperor Wilhelm I bridge. As we walk through the town, you'll see the influence of Germanic architecture.
Afterwards, we'll take a short 15-minute walk to the lookout point, from where you'll enjoy a wonderful view of the city. Afterwards, we'll visit the Dörcher Bier brewery, where you can enjoy a beer tasting.
After a break for lunch on your own and a taste of the local cuisine, we'll continue to discover the interesting architectural designs of Pozuzo's neighbourhoods. We'll then start our return journey to Oxapampa, making a stop at the natural pools of Guacamayo.
Arrival at your hotel is scheduled for 4:30 pm.
