Witches Valley Exploration
Your adventure begins with a pickup at 8 am from your accommodation in Huánuco, setting the stage for a journey into the magical stories of the Enchanted River Valley, commonly referred to as the Witches Valley.
Our first destination will be the Church of the Forgotten Christ. In 1986, this site became renowned for an extraordinary phenomenon when the crucifix of Jesus began to bleed inexplicably. Here, we will delve into the history of this remarkable event that led to its moniker, the Church of the Miraculous Crucified Christ.
Next, we will visit the Cerro de las Brujas, the valley's namesake. Surrounded by a veil of legends, this enigmatic location has been said to be a gathering place for witches in times gone by. You will discover the practices and stories that surround this intriguing site.
As we traverse the valley, you will encounter remnants of colonial history, including the Hacienda Ingenio and the Church of San Miguel Arcángel, established by Franciscan monks on a mission to evangelize the local populace. Another stop will be at the house where Simon Bolivar stayed overnight in 1822 during his quest for independence. We will recount the mysterious tales linked to the general's visit.
Continuing on, we will explore the chullpa de Collormayo, a pre-Inca burial site that offers insight into the funerary customs of this ancient civilization. Lastly, you will have the opportunity to visit a local zoo and a craftsmanship museum, showcasing pottery from the Atash, Acosh, and Chavín cultures, alongside fascinating exhibits of ecological art.
Your adventure concludes with a return trip to your accommodation in Huánuco, arriving at approximately 2 pm.
