CERRITO LA LIBERTAD

From its natural terrace, which you can reach by climbing a short distance, you can enjoy a beautiful view of the entire Mantaro valley. There is a small park, a small zoo (the only one in the city), children's games and snack stands. It is connected to the Plaza Constitución, via Avenida Giraldez. On this hill of Cullcos (its previous name) historical battles took place. On October 31, 1854, Ramón Castilla fought against José Rufino Echenique. Then the Pierolista troops of the Libertad battalion defeated the Caceristas. And the hill changed its name.
