Join us on this guided tour of Cajamarca to explore the city steeped in history from the final decades of the Inca Empire.

Guided Tour of Cajamarca

We will pick you up at your hotel in downtown Cajamarca at the agreed time. The tour begins at the Plaza de Armas, known for the capture of Inca chief Atahualpa by the Spaniards. Here, we will see the Santa Catalina cathedral and San Francisco church, notable for their facades carved in volcanic rock.

Next, we will walk to the monumental complex of Belen, which includes the Men's Hospital, the Women's Hospital, and a church. Afterwards, we will visit the Cuarto del Rescate (Rescue Room), where historical accounts suggest Francisco Pizarro imprisoned Atahualpa before his execution. We will discuss Atahualpa's last days in captivity.

The tour continues to the viewpoint atop Santa Apolonia hill for a view of the city and the Rumi Tiana valley. Here, we will find the Silla del Inca, believed to be the seat of Atahualpa.

After three and a half hours of historical exploration, we will return to your hotel in Cajamarca.
