Guided Tour of Cajamarca

Guided Tour of Cajamarca

We will pick you up at your hotel in downtown Cajamarca at the agreed time for this guided tour. The tour begins at the Plaza de Armas, where the Inca chief Atahualpa was captured by the Spaniards. Here, we will see the Santa Catalina cathedral and the San Francisco church, notable for their facades carved in volcanic rock.

Next, we will walk to the monumental complex of Belen, which includes the Men's Hospital, the Women's Hospital, and a church. Following this, we will visit the Cuarto del Rescate (Rescue Room), where historians state Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro kept Atahualpa before his execution, providing insight into Atahualpa's last days in prison.

We will continue to the viewpoint atop Santa Apolonia hill for a view of the city and the Rumi Tiana valley. Here, we will see the Silla del Inca, reputed to be Atahualpa's seat.

After three and a half hours of history and sightseeing, we will return to your hotel in Cajamarca.
