描述

Do you want to discover the secrets hidden in Cumbemayo? Delve into its mysterious stone forest with this excursion from Cajamarca.
Itinerary

The tour will begin with a pick-up from your hotel at 9:30 am. From here we will head to Cumbemayo, a site that houses a forest of large stone monoliths known as frailones. Did you know that archaeologists date the construction of this mysterious place to around 1000 BC? In other words, it would be more than 3,000 years old! We will visit the Cumbemayo aqueduct, the most important hydraulic engineering work of the pre-Columbian period. The most curious thing about this viaduct is that today water continues to flow along its 9 kilometers. We will tell you about its operation, which remains a mystery. The Cajamarca region was sufficiently supplied with water, so in principle an aqueduct would not be necessary. So, what was it used for? Historians believe that the answer lies in the sanctuary, a huge rock in the shape of a human head where human sacrifices were made. In addition, next to the sanctuary we will see some caves that hide engravings in the rock whose meaning is also an enigma. Finally, on the way back to your hotel, we will stop at the Bellavista viewpoint, a place that will offer us fantastic views of the Cajamarca valley. You will love it! We will arrive at your hotels at 1:00 p.m.
