Meet us at the Plaza de Armas to commence our tour, during which we'll explore the key tourist attractions of Tarma and Huaricolca.

Our first stop is in front of the Cathedral of Tarma to admire its façade, located in the heart of Plaza de Armas. Following that, we'll visit the Lomo de Elefante viewpoint, situated midway between Tarma and Huaricolca, where we will enjoy a panorama of the area's natural landscapes.

We will then head to the Stone Guardians and the cave paintings of Pintishmachay, among the oldest cave paintings in Peru. Afterward, we will visit the Chapel of San Juan Pata, explore the Colcas de Huaricolca (storehouses), and conclude our tour with a visit to the Acllana Huarmihuasi.
