Granja Porcón

Granja Porcón is a working farm and woodland area not far from Cajamarca. A visit to a ranch is a good way to see local farming practices and this is generally regarded as the best in the area. There is also a small animal sanctuary on the property, with a variety of local animals.

The most important part of the Ganja Porcón is the 10,000 hectare forest area. The trees here are not indigenous to the region but were planted for their value in the paper and furniture industries. Nonetheless, this is an effort in the direction of reforestation.

Day trips to the Granja Porcón usually involve a walk through the forest and a visit to the animal sanctuary. It is also possible to stay here at the hostel in newly built cabins with
