Palcamayo - Gruta de Guagapo Attractions
|
|
Palcamayo is a small village about 30km / 18mi from Tarma. The town is most famous for the Gruta de Guagapo, one of Peru's largest caves. It is a designated National Speleological Area. There are some smaller caves in this area as well.
Exploring Gruta de Guagapo is only for those with experience in caving and requires appropriate equipment. The cave has waterfalls and underwater sections which require scuba gear. There is a local guide who lives in the area who is familiar with the cave and will offer advice and possibly provide some equipment.
The first 300m / 970ft of the cave requires less technical ability and offers the opportunity to see stalagmites, stalactites, and cave paintings. It will still require a flashlight and guide.
