You start by visiting a historic square known as a cultural hub and one of the oldest areas in the city. Next, you walk to a local market to taste native fruits and traditional chicha. The route continues past Santuario Nuestra Señora del Carmen, a recently built Gothic-style church known for its candy-cane appearance.
