Santa Rosa de Quives & Canta Trip

Venture northeast of Lima to uncover hidden gems with the Santa Rosa de Quives & Canta Trip. Prepare for an exceptional journey through captivating natural landscapes!

Description

After picking you up from your selected meeting point at the designated time, we will embark on an adventure to two of the most noteworthy destinations located northeast of Lima.

Our first stop will be at Santa Rosa de Quives, arriving around 8:30 am. Here, you'll have a short break to enjoy breakfast at your leisure before we initiate a guided tour through this charming town, which holds significance as the childhood home of Saint Rose of Lima.

We will visit the house where the saint grew up, along with the chapel and the enchanting Wishing Well, a local site where residents toss letters seeking the saint's assistance. Be sure to bring your own letter!

Following this visit, our journey will take us to Canta. En route, we will pause at the Cochapampa Viewpoint to enjoy breathtaking vistas of the Lima highlands and surrounding villages.

Upon arriving in Canta, nestled at the foot of the Widow's Mountain Range, we will discover various attractions, including the stunning Pomora Waterfall and the vibrant lakes of Ocho Colores, Leoncocha, and Chuchún. We’ll take a moment to relax by the last lake, soaking in its spectacular natural beauty.

Next, we will visit a rural hacienda in Canta, where you will have some free time to savor traditional dishes such as stew or pachamanca, a meat delicacy cooked on heated stones. You can also enjoy a delightful horseback ride and even check out the Lucle Waterfall or the fish farm.

In the afternoon, our return trip to Lima will commence at 4 pm, aiming to drop you off at the original meeting point by approximately 7 pm.
