Lunahuana


Lunahuana district is less than three hours' drive south of Peru's capital city, and its jurisdiction belongs to the Cañete province.

The trip can be made either by bus or car.

This is the place to be if you enjoy outdoor activities. It is filled with plenty of attractions including extreme sports, open-air activities and high-quality drinks like pisco.

Following the various weather events occurred in the country as part of the rainy season, many people think Lunahuana has been affected by landslides. However, visitors can enjoy open-air activities in a perfectly normal and safe way.
