Travel Guide San Vicente De Cañete

San Vicente de Cañete (144 km to the south) is a large village that was populated by pre-Columbian groups, then by blacks brought by soulless slave traders, and finally, when slavery was abolished in the middle of the 19th century, by the Chinese. A perfect example of Peruvian crossbreeding. This can be felt in its folklore, which culminates at the end of August in its festival. Also famous for its gastronomy in which the shrimp holds the top of the card. Note that very good pisco is produced in the area. San Vicente de Cañete is located on the road to the Lunahuana valley and the Nor-Yauyos reserve, but it has become a noisy little town.
