Achoma
A small village beside the south-bank road with wide views of terraces and the river valley. It has a small village history museum, and tour groups often stop here briefly.
Achoma lies on the south bank of the Colca River between Yanque and Maca. Along the main road, neat terraces and ancient irrigation channels create clear layers in the morning light. The village has a small community museum displaying traditional farm tools and clothing, as well as the colonial-era Church of San Juan. On the way from Chivay to the Cruz del Cóndor, day-tour buses often stop here for photos. Nearby, the Colca River gorge offers rafting and a suspension bridge crossing.
