Paucarpata: It bears its name in Quechua, which when translated means flowery platform, because it is located at the top of a mountain and its agricultural areas supported by stone walls can be seen on the descents of it. It has a fantastic church that when visiting it shows us the wide art that exists.

Molino de Sabandía: It is a beautiful and fantastic piece of colonial architecture, it is estimated that it was built in 1621, made of ashlar stone; even after the time, even today, you can see the water still passing through its old channels that keep the mill in an optimal state, today around 800 kilos of grains are still ground.

The Monastery of Santa Catalina: It is one of the main places to visit within the most significant religious constructions of the colonial period of Peru, it was built in the year 1579.
