Description
Cajamarca is a city located in the northern highlands of Peru, known for its rich history and picturesque landscape. It is the capital of the Cajamarca region and has a population of approximately 200,000 residents. The area is famous for its significance during the Inca Empire, as it was the site where the last Inca ruler, Atahualpa, was captured by Spanish conquistadors in 1532.
Surrounded by lush green hills and impressive mountains, Cajamarca offers stunning natural scenery. The region is also known for its hot springs, particularly the Baños del Inca, which have been a popular site for relaxation and therapeutic benefits since pre-Columbian times. The climate is generally mild, making it an attractive destination for both tourists and locals.
Cajamarca's economy is primarily based on agriculture, with crops such as potatoes, maize, and dairy products being significant contributors. Additionally, mining plays a crucial role in the local economy, particularly with the extraction of gold and other minerals. The city also features vibrant cultural expressions, including traditional festivals, music, and gastronomy, reflecting its diverse heritage.
