Towers near Cumbe Mayo


Description 

Interesting climbing in a rock garden near where a pre-inca civilization built aqueducts. This is a very beautiful place with rock that has never been climbed. No bolts, aggregate rock that is crumbly in some places, good spots for easy top roping but also some interesting pinnacles. Rainy season is during the Peruvian summer (Dec-March), but if it is not raining the weather is pleasant.

Cumbe Mayo is about an hour by car from Cajamarca. Cumbe Mayo is a park with an entrance fee of $2.
