Huánuco City Tour
You'll be picked up from your accommodation at the time of your choice to begin this tour of Huanuco, known as the city of the Knights of León, founded by commander Gómez de Alvarado y Contreras.
The tour includes visits to key locations in Huánuco, such as the main square, the cathedral, the church of San Sebastian, and the churches of San Cristobal and San Francisco, all significant religious buildings from the 16th century. You'll also pass by the mausoleum of Daniel Alomía Robles, known for composing "El cóndor pasa".
Further, the itinerary includes emblematic sites like the Calicanto bridge and the granite fountain, which is over 100 years old. The tour continues through the picturesque park of Santo Domingo, highlighting its "tree of love," and visiting the home of Leoncio Prado Gutierrez, notable for his involvement in the guerrilla war against the Spanish in Cuba and the Philippines.
The tour concludes in front of the monument dedicated to the "Negritos de Huanuco", a dance associated with Christmas and Easter festivities. After 3 hours of exploration, you will be taken back to your accommodation.
