Garu and Corona del Inca Excursion

We'll pick you up at 6 am at your accommodation in Huanuco and begin our route to the district of Choras.

After a three-hour drive, we'll start a 2-kilometre walk across the Cóndor Waganan hill until we reach the archaeological complex of Garu, the ancient capital of the Yarowilca Empire. This site is located at an altitude of 3700 metres and covers nearly 50 acres. It features flagstone buildings, passageways, stone towers, and tombs.

The site is divided into three sections: Huaychao, Gantu, and Jucchu or Gayarina. We'll explore the stone walls and viewpoints that mark the different sections while learning about the site's history.

After exploring the archaeological complex, we'll continue to Corona del Inca hill, known for its rocky terrain.

To conclude the excursion, we'll return to Huanuco and stop for lunch at a local restaurant. We expect to arrive back at your accommodation by 5 pm.
