Huariaca & Conoc Excursion + Casa de la Moneda

We'll pick you up at 9 am at your accommodation and set off to the town of Huariaca, approximately an hour and a half drive from Cerro de Pasco. The origins of Huariaca date back thousands of years when cavemen inhabited these lands, leaving traces through cave paintings. There are 50 caves in Huariaca alone. On our tour, we'll explore the Plaza de Armas and its main streets while reviewing the history of this city, once inhabited by different pre-Inca civilizations.

The next stop will be in the town of Conoc, where we'll visit its thermal baths, known for their therapeutic waters located on the banks of the Tingo River.

We'll also visit the ruins of the Conoc mining complex, where silver deposits were discovered during colonial times in the hills of Yauricocha and Colquijirca.

Then, we'll return to Huariaca to visit a trout farm and the thermal baths of Catalina Huanca, followed by a visit to Casa de la Moneda in the town of Quinua, where some of the first coins of the Republic of Peru were minted.

Finally, we'll return to Cerro de Pasco and drop you off at your accommodation at 3 pm.
