Huancavelica Tours: Discover Authentic Peru with Guided Activities

Nestled high in the Andes, Huancavelica is a hidden treasure in Peru known for its scenic beauty, colonial charm, and authentic local life. With its surrounding green valleys, thermal springs, and peaceful atmosphere, it's the perfect place for those who want to discover untouched Peru away from the crowds.

A Glimpse Into the Past

Founded in the 16th century, Huancavelica grew around its famous mercury mines, which played a key role during the Spanish colonial era. Streets lined with cobblestones and colorful houses preserve a unique blend of Andean and colonial traditions that are still alive today.

When to Plan Your Trip

The best time to visit is from May to September, when the weather is dry and sunny—ideal for exploring both the city and the surrounding mountains. The rainy season runs from December to March and can make some rural roads tricky.

How Do I Get There?

Huancavelica is accessible by bus or train from major cities like Lima or Huancayo. The scenic "Tren Macho" route is a popular adventure in itself for travelers looking for something different.
