consecutive jumps.
Huancaya is at the center
of an area that has been declared Landscape Reserve forming Nor Yauyos-Cochas
and is considered one of the most
beautiful places of Peru. Its main attractions are the cascade Cabrachanca,
Waterfalls and ponds
Carhuayno, Laguna Huallhua, lagoon Chuchupasca
which were described for the first time in the 80's on trip by reports Daniel
López Mazzotti.
In the journey to Huancaya
not speak of destinations, because
elapse roads observing
the landscape is something that
makes a destination in itself.
The range offered by its accidents,
are yellowish dry, very green season in the
rainy months. The cannons and
terraces are unique. Gaps filled with birds,
wetlands, forests, vast plains, herds of
camels are perhaps the most attractive elements in the reserve.
After passing Vitis en route to
Huancaya, is Piquecocha
lagoon, where pairs
of geese, herons and grebes
are observed. Depending on the time of day, the sun is changing the color of this large body of water,
sometimes in tones steel or intense turquoise. The
contemplation of this gap while
the gentle lapping of the waves
and listening to the
voices of the birds is a highlight of our trip. You
can fish for trout along the
lines of sport fishing.
There is a beautiful pink
masonry bridge that
allows passage over the Cañete
river, linking the town to the countryside in Huancaya.
The bridge of two
arches, perillones and other ornaments, speak the importance
of this settlement since the seventeenth
century.
It is wonderful to
observe the small waterfalls
on slopes which makes the river in this part (where
it is known as Warko), water divides, to obstacles of
rocks, streams and small flows.
This is where the human dimension is recovered. If when
you're in front of Niagara
Falls or Iguazu,
feels a tiny being, here becomes giant contemplates
his kingdom. The numerous waterfalls that are observed simultaneously make us believe
that we are giants. The water is
very cold, so few dare to join them, but the contemplation of the
panorama is sufficient reward for the journey
