The opportunity to discover Peru's Austro-German heritage is at your fingertips with this 2-day tour of Oxampampa and Pozuzo, two of its most famous 19th-century colonies.
At 8 am we'll pick you up at your hotel in San Ramón and depart for the province of Oxampampa.
After crossing a bridge we'll arrive at the Mezapata viewpoint, from where we can see the Paucartambo canyon, the natural border between the regions of Junín and Pasco. Afterwards, we'll continue to our first destination, but not before making a stop at a handmade mill.
We'll arrive at Chontabamba and visit its beautiful wooden church, built by the Austro-German settlers. Afterwards, we'll return to the bus to go to Tunqui Cueva and visit a dairy factory for a tasting of its products.
In the afternoon we'll arrive in Oxapampa, where we'll enjoy a guided tour of its main points: the Plaza de Armas, the Colonists' promenade and the church of Santa Rosa, a beautiful wooden construction of European influence. We'll finish the tour by spending the night in Oxapampa.
After enjoying an early breakfast at the hotel we'll set off. We'll drive through the Yanachanga Chemillen National Park and see from the vehicle the impressive waterfalls of Rayantambo and Yulitunqui, formed by the waterfalls of the Tunqui River.
Afterwards, we'll arrive in Pozuzo. Did you know that it was the first Austro-German colony to settle in Peru, in the middle of the 19th century? We'll take a tour of its European-style wooden churches, and pass by other equally representative constructions, such as the bridge of Emperor Wilhelm I or the Schafferer Museum, which reviews the history of European immigrants in Peru.
We'll also see the monument to Father Joseph Egg, the parish priest from Tyrol who accompanied the settlers. Before returning to San Ramon, we'll end our 2-day tour with a splendid panoramic view of the Oxapampa landscape. You'll arrive at your hotel in San Ramon in the evening.
The tour includes one night's accommodation in a double room at the Hotel Posada Edelweiss (3 stars) or similar.
