Santa Rosa de Quives & Canta Trip

Embarking on a journey to the northeast of Lima unveils hidden gems waiting to be explored. Join us on an adventure to Santa Rosa de Quives and Canta, where captivating natural beauty and cultural heritage come together!

Description

After picking you up from the established meeting point at your selected time, we will embark on a journey to two standout destinations located northeast of Lima.

By approximately 8:30 am, we will reach Santa Rosa de Quives. A brief pause here allows you to grab breakfast independently before we commence a guided tour of this charming town, known as the childhood home of Saint Rose of Lima.

During our visit, we'll explore the residence where the saint once lived, alongside the chapel and the enchanting Wishing Well, a place where locals toss letters seeking the saint’s guidance. Remember to bring your own letter!

Following our time in Santa Rosa de Quives, we will proceed to Canta. On our route, a stop at the Cochapampa Viewpoint offers spectacular vistas of the surrounding highlands and quaint villages.

Upon arriving in Canta, nestled at the foot of the Widow's Mountain Range, we will delve into its numerous attractions. Highlights include the stunning Pomora Waterfall and the striking lakes of Ocho Colores, Leoncocha, and Chuchún. At the Chuchún lake, we will take a moment to appreciate the breathtaking natural environment.

Next, we will visit a countryside hacienda in Canta, where you’ll have leisurely time to savor local dishes like stew or pachamanca, a traditional meat dish prepared with heated stones. You may also enjoy a scenic horseback ride and explore the Lucle Waterfall or the fish farm.

As the afternoon approaches, we'll begin our journey back to Lima at 4 pm, aiming to drop you off at the starting point by around 7 pm.
