Itinerary
|
We will leave from the hotel to go to the traditional district of Paucarpeta. Here we will see Incan and pre-Incan terraces and a beautiful colonial church. Next, we will go to Sabandia Mill where we will see grains ground into flour by the force of water. Afterwards, we enter the Via Paisajista, which is named for its beautiful landscape and scenery. We will arrive at La Mansión del Fundador (the founder's mansion) and the Palacio de Huasacache (Huasache's palace), which is a mansion that was built in the 16th century. We will also visit Balernio de Tingo, which is a place with an artificial, recreational lake. Later we will continue on to Mirador de Sachaca (Sachaca viewpoint) where we will have a spectacular view of the city, the countryside, and three volcanoes (Chachani, Misti, and Pichu Pichu). Next, we will go to the Puente de Fierro (the iron bridge). Then we will go to the Carmen Alto viewpoint which overlooks the Chilina terraces. From here, we will visit the Yanahuara district where we can enjoy the view, the beautiful church, and the plaza.
