We'll pick you up at the Huamanmarca Plaza in Huancayo to begin our day trip through notable locations in the Jauja province.

Our first stop will be at the Huiscapuquio Thermal Baths, giving you about an hour of free time to enjoy its refreshing and medicinal waters, which are beneficial for the skin.

Next, we will approach the Pachacayo cattle ranch near Shutjo Canyon, where nature and landscapes combine beautifully.

We will continue to Canchayllo, a village where we will visit the main square and church, as well as the Corivinchos archaeological site, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We will visit the Raimondi puya forest and take a one-hour break for lunch on your own.

After exploring, we will arrive at Shutjo Canyon, known for rock formations with walls reaching 70 meters high (229 feet), offering spectacular views from the top. You will have time for pictures before we descend to view it from below and begin our return to Huancayo.
