Huancavelica - Peru
 The department de Huancavelica features
one de the roughest terrains in the country, formed by valleys, deep
gorges, towering mountains, sinuous roads, and mesas.
The city de Huancavelica is bordered by fertile fields and green
pastures where cattle graze. These highlands were inhabited by the Waris
and later by the warring Chancas. The area was finally incorporated into
the Inca Empire and became a military center. Following that period, the
Spanish discovered silver and mercury mines, a reason for establishing
themselves there. Currently, the city preserves its mansions and
magnificent Colonial churches.
In the surrounding areas, there is the town de Santa Barbara with its
old church and mines that have been used since Colonial times. You can
also visit Izcuchaca, a center for pottery located seventy-eight
kilometers from Huancavelica where there are hot springs and an
archeological site.
