Huayllay National Sanctuary

Huayllay National Sanctuary

The Huayllay National Sanctuary is located in Peru's central Andes (Pasco region) between 4,100 - 4,546 meters (13,450 - 14,915 feet) above sea level. The Sanctuary is a forest of stones, with impressive cliffs and bizarre figures formed by erosion caused by wind, water and glaciers. It is an immense open air geological museum, where silhouettes that resemble a cobra, an elephant, a snail and many more can be seen.
 
The best way to explore the Sanctuary is by taking some of the various tourist trails, and ending the visit with a relaxing bath in the hot springs.
