We will first journey towards the Huatuscalla canyon, one of the highest regions in the Luricocha district. Upon arrival, prepare to be captivated by the breathtaking vistas of valleys, basins, and gorges. Reaching the town of Huatuscalla, situated at 3,060 meters above sea level, we will embark on a 30-minute hike up a gentle incline to the Huatuscalla viewpoint.

Here, you will be rewarded with an incredible panoramic view showcasing the meeting of the Huarpa and Cachi rivers, which converge to create the Mantaro River. After capturing memorable photographs of this natural wonder, we will proceed into the town where you will have free time for lunch on your own.

On this tour, we will admire the town’s significant landmarks, including the Matriz Church, the Municipal Palace, and various archaeological sites and ruins.
