At 9:15 am, we'll meet at Plaza de Armas, the main square in Ayacucho where we'll set off on a day full of idyllic places that will make you feel in harmony with nature.

We'll start by heading towards the Huatuscalla canyon, one of the highest altitude areas in the district of Luricocha. Upon arrival, you'll experience landscapes of valleys, basins, and gorges. We'll arrive at the town of Huatuscalla, located at 3,060 meters above sea level, and begin a 30-minute hike up a gentle slope to the viewpoint of Huatuscalla.

From here, we'll enjoy a panoramic view of the union of the Huarpa and Cachi rivers, which join to form the Mantaro River. After taking photos, we'll head into town where you'll have free time to have lunch on your own.

Afterward, we'll hop back on the bus to visit the city of Huanta, known as the Emerald of the Andes. We'll tour the town admiring its main monuments such as the Matriz Church, the Municipal Palace, and various archaeological sites and ruins.
