During this descend you can appreciate landscapes with snow-capped
mountains.
The Collagua’s, a pre-inca tribe, left their essence in the
Petroglyphs and caves where the cereals were stored.
After the Spanish conquest, the Colca’s people were grouped in
small villages near the valley making one bigger and economic
organization in this territory. |
