You'll be picked up from your accommodation at your chosen time to begin this tour of Huánuco, known as the city of the Knights of León, founded by commander Gómez de Alvarado y Contreras, brother of conquistador Pedro de Alvarado.

The tour includes visits to key points of interest in Huánuco, such as the main square and several temples and religious buildings like the cathedral, church of San Sebastian, and the 16th-century churches of San Cristobal and San Francisco. We will also pass by the mausoleum of Daniel Alomía Robles, composer of the melody El cóndor pasa (The Condor Passes By).

We will continue to notable monuments, including the Calicanto bridge and a granite fountain over 100 years old. We'll visit the park of Santo Domingo and see the "tree of love," along with the house of Leoncio Prado Gutierrez, a military figure from Huanuco who was involved in guerrilla warfare against the Spanish in Cuba and the Philippines.

The last stop will be at the monument dedicated to the "Negritos de Huanuco", a local dance related to Christmas and Easter festivities. After 3 hours of exploring Huánuco, we will conclude the tour and take you back to your accommodation.
