Cajamarca - La Colpa & Llanacora (26 May 2006)

Our 3rd day in Cajamarca was really busy. We decided to see as much as we could, so we went to an old farm named "Hacienda La Colpa". Here we are in two nice places inside the farm: first the courtyard that has a colonial spanish style.




And then at a little lake inside the farm.



This farm is famous because each day at 4.30pm there is a "traditional cow call". The farmer calls each cow individually by name and the appropriate cow (who knows its name) walks from the yard to the shed and to its own stall in order to feed and be milked. Wow! We took a shot before the calling began.




Each cow under their own name. We liked it.


After the visit to "La Colpa" we went to a little town named "Llanacora" only to take a look at the main square and find the waterfall. Here we are (unfortunately it was too cold to swim).
