CERRO BAÚL

At 20 km from Moquegua, a surprising mountain, with a flat top like the mesas of Arizona. The Cochunas had installed a fortress there in which they resisted 55 days to the siege of the Incas of Mayta Capác, before giving in, starving. Climbing the 600 m difference in altitude (2,600 m), by a steep path, is a very feasible exercise and will take you about 1 hour. At the top, there is a panoramic view of the plain and the foothills of the Cordillera. The summits of Cerro Baúl and Cerro Mejia are adjacent. Terraces on the side of the mountains and channels of the Huari period.
