Trail description
A hike onto the rim of Cerro Machin, a dormant volcano near Cajamarca whose crater shelters pastures and small farms. The trail climbs through cool Andean countryside with views over the Toche valley and its wax palms. The contrast between the quiet green crater and the volcano's explosive history makes it a distinctive walk.
