Embark on a fascinating journey to the Ventanillas de Otuzco, a renowned pre-Inca burial site, while also immersing yourself in the traditional practices of a Peruvian farm on this captivating day trip.
Day Trip to Ventanillas de Otuzco
Your adventure begins with a pickup from your hotel in Cajamarca at 3:30 pm, setting the stage for an unforgettable experience as we delve into the past.
The excursion kicks off with a scenic drive towards the Otuzco village, where we will cross the stunning suspension bridge over the Chonta River. In just a short distance of about 4 miles (7 kilometers), we will arrive at the remarkable Ventanillas de Otuzco, an ancient necropolis home to over 300 tombs hewn into volcanic rock.
This historical site is tied to the Caxamarca culture, which thrived prior to the Incan dominance, eventually becoming a part of the Inca Empire until the Spanish conquest. As we explore, you will encounter the window-like niches that lend their name to this unique location and uncover the intriguing tales they conceal.
Our journey continues to the charming Hacienda Tres Molinos, a typical farm renowned for its dairy production, including cheese, butter, and the sweet delicacy known as blancmange, native to South America. Enjoy a stroll in the breathtaking hydrangea garden on the property, where a vibrant array of flowers and fruits awaits.
Following this exploration, you will have some leisure time to savor local delicacies and even take a horseback ride around the hacienda. At the conclusion of this enriching trip, we will return you to your hotel, where we anticipate arriving by 7 pm.
