Cajamarca
Cajamarca is the largest city in the northern Peruvian Andes. Here the
Caxamarca culture developed, which was then integrated into the empire of
the Incas. The production of milk and milk products is one of the most
important economic activities. The important mines in the area are also an
important economic factor. Diverse landscapes, archaeological and natural
riches attract many tourists. Carnival is celebrated like no other
peruvian city, as are religious holidays such as Corpus Christi and Easter
Week.
