The so-called Ventanillas (Niches) of Otuzco (2,850 m.a.s.l.) are actually part of an old cemetery of the Cajamarca Culture, which niches are neatly arranged in rows. Apparently, this was an important place for honoring ancestors, which   remains may have been removed from their original tombs to be deposited in this necrópolis, then we go La Hacienda Tres Molinos, The Garden of Hortensias and Fundo de los Alpes.
