Spend a day visiting the stone forest of the Huayllay National Sanctuary & soaking in the medicinal waters of a thermal spa with this excursion to Huallay and La Calera.
At 9 am we'll pick you up at your hotel in Cerro de Pasco and make our way to Huayllay. During the one-hour drive, we'll pass through towns of the Peruvian plains such as Colquijirca and Cochamarca before we finally arrive at the Huayllay National Sanctuary, location of the famous stone forest.
This marvel features a collection of about 4,000 rock formations sculpted by nature, due to water and wind erosion. Walking through the park, brimming with figures of various sizes, we'll get lost among its animal shapes, such as the Walker, the Elephant, the Alpaca and the Turtle. This protected area is also home to several species of endemic animals, such as deer, vicuñas, wild cats and sparrow hawks.
After the visit to the stone forest, we'll head to the town of Huayllay to visit its Plaza de Armas and colonial-style church. Then, we'll leave the town to go to the hot springs of La Calera, about 15 minutes from Huayllay.
This place is known for its waters rich in minerals, including calcium, potassium and sodium. Did you know that they can reach a temperature of 60º Celsius? This natural spa receives many visitors every year who come to treat their ailments with the healing properties of La Calera.
Here we'll leave you free time to enjoy the hot springs and to have lunch. Afterward, we'll return to Cerro de Pasco and drop you off at your accommodation, arriving around 3 pm.
