Llacanora
A small hillside village southeast of the city, with rock art and a small waterfall. Often combined with nearby dairy pastures for a half-day rural excursion.
Llacanora is a traditional village about 13 km from Cajamarca, known for a waterfall in the gorge beyond the village and for cliff-face rock art. The waterfall is a 20 to 30 minute walk from the village. Nearby, Hacienda La Colpa is famous for its cow-calling demonstrations, and the two are often combined as a "rural half-day tour." The coordinates given are an estimate for the village center, and the waterfall is a short distance outside the village. Roads turn muddy in the rainy season, so wear non-slip shoes.
