Lunahuana Adventure Sports Festival
|
Location:
Cañete (Lima)
Date: (March) 1st week
The
pleasant valley of Lunahuaná, a paradise for adventure
sports lovers, is just half an hour from San Vicente de
Cañete, a town 150 km south of Lima. The main attraction
is the fast-running Cañete River, which features
rapids up to Class IV. Each year, the valley hosts a festival
involving rafting, parasailing, trekking, gliding, mountain
biking and fishing competitions.
A visit to Lunahuaná is a first-rate excuse to take
in the nearby archaeological site of Incahuasi and the hanging
bridge of Catapalla. Other attractions include wine-tasting
at local vineyards and the exotic regional cuisine, such
as conejos a la carapulcra (spicy jugged hare) and cuy al
vino (guinea pig braised in wine).
