Cajamarca was founded by the Incas around 1450 and played a great role in the history of this civilization, as it was there that Atahualpa, the last Inca emperor, was captured and killed some time later by Spanish forces led by Francisco Pizarro, marking the beginning of the end. of the empire.

however, during a civil war in the Inca empire, Atahualpa used Cajamarca as a base and created the now famous Inca Baths (Baños del Inca), an area with several pools of geothermal waters, still used today by tourists and the population.

This destination is one of the best places for those who want to relax and rest.

Thermal water springs

Throughout the region, it is possible to find springs of geothermal water, arising from the proximity to the magma present in the interior of the mountains. These waters are considered medicinal and contain less sulfur than the pools in Huaraz, which are volcanic and become yellowish.

An interesting feature of this water is that, due to its chemical composition, when it rains, it changes color and turns green in a matter of seconds. The hot water used throughout the property, including the rooms, comes from its springs and the largest rooms even have a kind of thermal hot tub.

In addition to the Inca Baths, which are crowded on weekends, there are several ruins on the outskirts of Cajamarca.

Kuntur Wasi

A little further away than the others, this is perhaps the most impressive ruin.

The ceremonial structure of Kuntur Wasi was built around 1100 BC! Its denomination of Quechua origin means “House of the Condór” (perhaps in a connection with the superior world of the Inca culture?). Below the temple floor, several tombs were discovered with numerous offerings in gold, ceramics and stone adornments that are in the site museum.

Historians say he had a great influence on the cultures of the north coast of Peru.

Cumbe Mayo

One of the most famous tourist sites in the region, Cumbe Mayo is considered the most important hydraulic complex of its time and was built around 1000 BC. to bring water from this area of the Andes to the Pacific. In addition, it is also possible to see “Los Frailones”, a forest of huge rocks worked by erosion.

Cave Paintings of Callacpuma

On the Callacpuma hill, you can see the Pumahushco caves. Around and inside them can be seen cave paintings of human and animal representations in red colors.

A curious fact concerns the Cathedral of Santa Catalina, in front of the Plaza de Armas. If you notice, the church's towers are missing and it was kept that way, because at the time of Spanish domination, if a church or cathedral had towers, it would have to pay taxes.
