Cajamarca
is one of the cities of destiny of the Indios.
Here the hundred twenty horsemen of
Pizarro
slaughtered the estimated
tenthousand men
Inka army
of
Atahualpa
within a few hours
and a whole continent changed. However if you mention nowadays
the name "Pizarro" here, all people think of Claudio Pizarro, who is the
captain of the Peruvian national soccer team, which plays quite well these days. He
plays as a professional with Bavaria Munich, which helps me
always a lot, if someone asks me where I come from. Bavaria
T-Shirts are accordingly quite popular here.
Near Cumbemayo (= water summit), a very artful pre-Inka water line, there are several hills with open slopes in direction of Cajamarca for a possible paraglider flight. On one of them I waited a whole afternoon, but the wind was too strong for a launch. Better place to fly in this area may be Cajabamba 100 km further south with high cliffs.
Possible launch at 3700 m
