Guided Tour of Cajamarca

Guided Tour of Cajamarca

We'll pick you up at your hotel in downtown Cajamarca at the agreed time for this guided tour. The tour will begin at the Plaza de Armas, the site where the Inca chief Atahualpa was captured by the Spaniards. Here we'll view the Santa Catalina cathedral and the San Francisco church, notable for their facades carved in volcanic rock.

Next, we’ll walk to the monumental complex of Belen, which includes the Men's Hospital, Women's Hospital, and a church. Afterwards, we will see the Cuarto del Rescate (Rescue Room), known for preserving Incan remains in Cajamarca. Historians note that Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro kept Atahualpa imprisoned here before his execution.

Continuing to the viewpoint atop Santa Apolonia hill, we will enjoy views of the city and the Rumi Tiana valley. This area features the famous Silla del Inca, believed to be the seat of Atahualpa.

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