To the left of the sanctuary is the Garden of Santa Rosa, a beautiful and welcoming space where you can see the famous wishing well where every August 30th, visitors leave a letter asking for their most important and urgent wishes.

3. CASCAS (Freedom)

This town, with the title of “Pueblo con Encanto” (Charming Town), is privileged with a generous climate that allows it to be visited at any time of the year, as well as harvesting grapes twice a year, a fruit that has turned them into growing national producers with a share in the market for wines and grape cigars. But, in addition, in Cascas you can go hiking and appreciate beautiful landscapes that include sedimentary rock formations, which give life to one of its tourist resources: El Cristo de las Rocas (Christ of the Rocks), or gifts of nature such as “The tree of a thousand roots” a large fig tree that has its roots in the air.

You can also go on walks to discover the local fauna and flora, and do adventure activities such as mountain biking, kayaking, boating or sailing on Titicaca.

5. VILLA RICA (Pasco)
