Lunahuana is a charming Peruvian town located south of the city of Lima, set within a picturesque mountain valley along the banks of the majestic Cañete River. The river serves as a popular destination for white water rafting throughout the year, offering high thrill rafting excursions led by experienced tour guides. Hiking, mountain biking, and paragliding are also popular activities throughout the year, along with angling for a variety of fish species on the river. The colonial-era Lunahuaná Cathedral is located within the Plaza de Armas, while the Incahuasi ruins west of the city's center showcase 15th-century indigenous structures. Surrounding areas such as Catapalla are known for their wine and Pisco production, located along an officially-designated winery trail. Map
