Huancayo, a destination less traveled than Arequipa or Cajamarca, but no less fascinating. This provincial capital boasts one of Peru’s most dynamic Sunday open air markets.
The city is ringed by pre-Inca ruins and picturesque villages, like Chupaca, Sicaya, Matahulo and Cochas Grande and Chico, where amazing tapestry weavings and Peru’s famous Mate de Burilado (carved gourds) are produced.
Huancayo is also known for its rich history, with nearby archaeological sites like the Wariwillka ruins, offering a glimpse into pre-Inca cultures that once thrived in the region.
The Mantaro Valley is renowned for its fertile lands, producing a variety of crops, including potatoes, maize, and quinoa, which are central to the region’s traditional dishes.
Experience vibrant religious festivals, such as the Señor de los Milagros, which showcase colorful costumes, intricate dances, and age-old customs. With its deep cultural heritage and scenic beauty, Huancayo offers a unique perspective on Andean life away from the more touristy destinations.
