The list features the world's largest concentration of Puya raimondii at Titankayocc, panoramic views from Cerro Acuchimay, and the artisan workshops of the Santa Ana quarter. Colonial monuments like the Arco del Triunfo and museums dedicated to regional heroes complete this cultural and geological survey.
