Kotosh Day Trip

Discover the fascinating history behind the Temple of the Crossed Hands and other ancient constructions on our Kotosh Day Trip from Huánuco.

Kotosh Day Trip

At your chosen time, we'll pick you up from your accommodation in Huánuco and head to the archaeological site of Kotosh, located 3 miles (5 kilometers) away.

This site features constructions over 4,200 years old, including the notable Temple of the Crossed Hands, a rectangular ceremonial building known for its high reliefs of two crossed hands. The hands may connect to Andean cosmovision and the origins of the world.

During the visit to Kotosh, we will walk among the stone and mud constructions, experiencing the atmosphere of this sacred site. The tour includes a visit to the Temple of the Crossed Hands, highlighting the discovery by Japanese archaeologist Seiichi Izumi in the 1960s.

We will also explore a magnetic point within the complex that captivates visitors.

After 2 hours of exploration, we will return to Huánuco and drop you off at your hotel.
