About Cajamarca
Cajamarca is a high Andean city in northern Peru, where the Inca emperor Atahualpa was captured in 1532, with colonial churches and hot springs.
Cajamarca stands at about 2,750 metres in a green valley of the northern Peruvian Andes. It is the place where the Inca emperor Atahualpa met Francisco Pizarro and was taken prisoner in 1532, and the stone chamber called the Ransom Room is linked to that story. The Plaza de Armas is lined with a cathedral and the carved stone fronts of colonial churches, and the Belén complex holds a museum.
