Tarma and Huaricolca Tour
Description
Meet us at the Plaza de Armas at the designated time to commence our tour, during which we'll explore the key tourist attractions of Tarma and Huaricolca.
Our first stop is in front of the Cathedral of Tarma to admire its façade. This cathedral is situated in the heart of Plaza de Armas. Following that, we'll go to the Lomo de Elefante viewpoint, which lies midway between Tarma and Huaricolca. Here, we'll be treated to a breathtaking panorama of the area's stunning natural landscapes.
We'll continue to the Museum of Huaricolca, an excellent site for delving into the historical legacy of the Junín province. This museum boasts an impressive collection of archaeological discoveries from the Paleolithic era to the Inca period. Following our museum visit, we'll explore the Mamahuari Cave, steeped in legends and surprises.
Next, we'll head over to the Stone Guardians and the cave paintings of Pintishmachay, which stand as some of the oldest cave paintings in Peru. Afterward, we'll visit the Chapel of San Juan Pata, explore the Colcas de Huaricolca (storehouses), and conclude our tour with a visit to the Acllana Huarmihuasi.
After 5 hours of cultural immersion, we'll bring our tour to an end returning to the starting point.
