Lari
A terraced village on the north bank of the Colca, home to the valley's largest colonial church, known as the 'Little Cathedral.' It is a great place to see vast terraces.
Lari lies on the north bank of the Colca River, opposite Maca, surrounded by well-preserved pre-Inca stepped terraces. The Church of San Sebastián in the village is the largest in the Colca Valley, known as the 'Colca Cathedral,' and its interior retains Baroque altarpieces. Lari is also one of the starting points for climbing Nevado Mismi and reaching the source of the Amazon. Visitors are few, making it suitable for cycling or driving to explore the north bank villages (Coporaque–Lari–Madrigal).
