Tuti
A highland village north of Chivay with the abandoned old village of Ccollpa and the Mollepunko cave with rock paintings. It can be visited on the way to Sibayo.
Tuti lies about 15 km north of Chivay on the upper Colca River. Beside the village is the abandoned early colonial settlement of Ccollpa, where the ruins of stone houses and an old church recall the colonial 'reducción' resettlement policy. Caves in the surrounding valleys, such as Mollepunko, contain rock paintings thousands of years old depicting alpaca domestication, and a local guide is needed to reach them. The village has a small community museum. With few visitors, it suits self-drivers or those who hire a car to combine it with Sibayo.
