Celendín

A delightfully sleepy little town that receives few travelers except for those taking the wild and scenic route to Chachapoyas, Celendín is particularly known for high-quality straw hats, which can be bought at its interesting Sunday market. It’s an ideal place to observe traditional highland life and interact with local indigenous people, who will certainly take an interest in your unexpected visit. Celendín is easily reached by a paved road from Cajamarca.
