Pozuzo & Prusia Day Trip

At 6 am, we'll meet in Avenida Leopoldo Krausse and depart for the province of Oxapampa. On the way, we'll see beautiful scenery, including Yanachaga Chemillén National Park and the Rayantambo and Yulitunky waterfalls.

Our first stop will be in Pozuzo, founded in 1895 by Austro-German immigrants, making it the first colony of its kind in the world. We'll see wooden and gable-roofed buildings typical of Central Europe.

During our visit, we'll tour iconic spots such as the Colonists' cemetery and the replica of the Norton, the ship that brought the immigrants to Peru. We will also visit the Schafferer Museum to learn about the history of Austro-German colonization and the objects the first residents brought from Europe.

Next, we'll head to Prusia, where we'll admire Germanic buildings before enjoying a typical lunch that includes a meat dish and a drink.

After lunch, we will visit the Emperor Wilhelm I Suspension Bridge and an arts and crafts shop and a craft brewery, where we will sample some beer. Cheers!

We'll then return to Villa Rica, dropping you off at the meeting point between 5 and 6 pm.
