Visit Huánuco


The Huanuco region of Peru is a paradise for nature lovers and adventurers. Located in the central Andes, it's known for its stunning landscapes, vibrant culture, and rich history.

One of the main attractions in Huanuco is La Laguna de Conococha - an artificial lake that was created in recent years. It's a great spot to take a boat ride and admire the surrounding scenery, especially during sunsets. The nearby Cerro de La Libertad is also worth exploring - offering incredible views from 4,800 meters above sea level!

Huanuco is steeped in ancient Incan history. One interesting fact about this part of Peru is that it was once home to two powerful civilizations - the Chancay and Wari cultures that flourished between 600-1400 AD. The archaeological sites of these two cultures have been preserved throughout the region as well as monuments like Pampa de las Llamas-Moxeke - an enigmatic pyramid-like structure built on top of a hill known as 'Puma Pata'.

For anyone looking to explore an exciting mix of nature and culture, Huanuco should be at the top of their list!
