Explore Cajamarca’s countryside on a half-day tour to the Ventanillas de Otuzco, a hanging bridge, a colorful hydrangea garden, and a traditional dairy farm with local tastings.
Start your afternoon exploring the cultural and natural highlights of Cajamarca on a half-day tour. Your experience begins with a visit to the Ventanillas de Otuzco, an ancient pre-Inca archaeological site and necropolis. Here, you’ll see funerary niches carved directly into the volcanic rock, resembling small windows, and learn about the history and traditions surrounding this remarkable site.
Next, continue through the peaceful Cajamarca countryside and enjoy the green landscapes and traditional rural scenery. You’ll have the opportunity to cross a hanging bridge and take in the views along the way.
Your tour then takes you to a beautiful hydrangea garden, where you can walk among colorful flowers, native plants, and local handicrafts. It’s a relaxing stop to enjoy the scenery and take photos.
Finally, visit Hacienda Tres Molinos or Los Alpes, a traditional local dairy farm. Discover how regional dairy products are made using artisanal methods, enjoy a tasting of selected products, and have time to purchase local specialties if you wish.
After exploring these attractions, return to Cajamarca with a better appreciation of the region’s archaeological heritage, countryside, local traditions, and artisanal products.
