Cajamarca is the city where the Inca Atahualpa was captured, and you can still visit the Ransom Room. It has hot springs, countryside, pre-Hispanic aqueducts and one of Peru's liveliest carnivals.
On Chaski Peru Guides every guide holds an official tour guide license, and we check their background before approving them. Book a Cajamarca private tour published by a guide, or post what you are looking for and compare offers from several guides.
