Otuzco Windows Tour - 3 Hours

We’ll pick you up from your Cajamarca hotel and take you to the Otuzco Windows, which are located in the same district as The Baños del Inca, about 8 km northwest of the city of Cajamarca. It’s a short but scenic ride, ideal for a three-hour tour. 

As you explore the Otuzco Windows, you'll be struck by the sight of the tombs carved into the cliffs, resembling a city built into the rock face. These tombs, with their distinctive windows that give the site its name ("ventanilla" means "little window" in Spanish), provide valuable insights into the funerary customs of the ancient inhabitants of this region. The windows, cut into the rock, once served as openings for the burial chambers, revealing the width of the burial box used during the Cajamarca culture's occupation of the area.

Aside from its archaeological significance, Ventanilla de Otuzco offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. From the rocky edge where the tombs are located, you can gaze out at the rolling hills and valleys that stretch out before you, gaining a deeper appreciation for the natural beauty of the Cajamarca region.

This three-hour tour trip is not just a journey through history; it's an opportunity to connect with the ancient past and gain a new perspective on the world around you. As you stand amidst the ancient tombs of The Otuzco Windows, you'll be taken back in time, imagining the lives of those who once inhabited this remarkable site.
