It’s a very beautiful place. The archeological site is not big, but nice and interesting. What impressed me most were the breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. Don’t forget to stop by the souvenir shop at the gates, they have some nice collection of stuff you might wanna take hope to remind you of this amazing place.
Amazing historical place. There is a museum, a sanctuary and if you want to walk the whole circuit you will need over 2 hours. Highly recommended.
Amazing!! Actually I’ve never been there before and it was stunning 🤩 The tour guides had different histories about Kotosh history, so I confused a little bit but I merge them and picked the most logical info. It is great because Kotosh is 2000 b.C. As well as Caral (the oldest Peruvian community)
If you are into ancient culture and civilizations, this is a great place to get to know about first inhabitants of the Andes.
Amazing and beautiful experience meeting this turistic place
There was no running water, no bathroom and was still charged full price for the entry. No tour guide, poor signaling and no information centers. Just one small musuem the size of a living room. The teller was asleep when we left at her post.
Less than 5 kilometres from the center of town. Taxi ride should only cost you six soles. You can hire a guide or see the ruined on your own entry is just five soles for adults. Bring your camera and enjoy the views, plants, and birds as well as the ancient ruins.
Kotosh is a very important archaeological site with ritual architecture starting well before Chavín and continuing for 2000 years, well excavated and published by a Japanese project in the 1960s, but now converted into a landscaped recreational area and tourist attraction. The mud plaster detailing of the structures exposed by the Japanese project has long since washed away, leaving only the fieldstone of the walls, which have now been heavily reconstructed with no indication of what is original and what has been rebuilt, with added walls that do not appear in the published excavation photos. The old, relatively correct informative signs have faded into near illegibility, and the local municipal guides charge to repeat a tedious load of claptrap about the supposed philosophy and symbolism of the builders of the site millennia ago, involving obviously European- and judeo-christian derived, sexist ideas about the roles of men and women in "Andean marriage," the symbolism of the cardinal directions and "elements" such as fire and earth, and so on, apparently based on a book that is mostly illustrations lifted from the excellent archaeological publication by Izumi plus totally unsupported speculations about the ideology of people whose thoughts and even language are unknown to us. While what remains of the site may be worth visiting if you are interested in Andean archaeology, Kotosh today is a sad example of misguided abuse of an archaeological site in the interest of tourism.

This park is busy and the site of many cultural events. You can enjoy Carnival events here. Locals love to relax here. Some nearby hostels are quite reasonable. There are many good places nearby to eat at. During my visit there were very few foreign tourists. Virtually no English is spoken here.l
It is a beautiful plaza; but the city is chaotic. The plants and flowers need to be taken care of.
Main point of attraction in the city. Right in the center there is a stone fountain allegedly carved out of one peace of granite. Is surrounded by the municipality building, the main cathedral and the Justice Cityhall. All main city celebrations take place at this touristic spot.
Very 😢 sad they represent a City, don't take a good care 😔 about the garden and plants looks terrible!!..
Main square in Huánuco. Every main square in Peruvian cuties is called Plaza de Armas. It means "parade grounds" and dates back to Spanish colonial times. The Huánuco square had a great fountain. It's always crowded but not too crowded. The buildings around the square are a bit scruffy. Most colonial buildings in Huánuco have been replaced by ugly 'modern' buildings.
It's a beautiful place. You could take nice pics but it's a little small.
Your average peruvian main square, though, somehow lavking due to not having anything special in the center, the weather is nice though, so theres that
Nice lake abig green area that you can seat !!

(Translated by Google) In the Cathedral of the Lord of Burgos there are several images, such as the baroque sculpture of the Lord of Burgos.

It is worth knowing it. (Original) En la Catedral del Señor de Burgos se encuentran varias imágenes, como la escultura barroca del Señor de Burgos.

(Translated by Google) Very pretty, especially when it's cloudy (Original) Muy bonito , especialmente cuando está nublado
(Translated by Google) Nice place to rest (Original) Agradable lugar para descansar
(Translated by Google) Because it is very beautiful and a tourist site in Huanuco (Original) Por q es muy hermoso y un sitio turistico de Huanuco
(Translated by Google) It is a spacious place. The Lagoon gives a nice view, when the Lagoon is full. There is also a small boat service to take a ride with your partner or family. It's one of the fun things you can do. You can also do exercises by running around the park. There is space where people go to exercise or rehearse their dances. There should be more surveillance since there is no shortage of people with bad lives who go to smoke and drink there. In addition, part of the paths around the Lagoon are in poor condition and it is something that could be repaired. (Original) Es un lugar amplio. La Laguna le da una bonita vista, cuando la Laguna está llena. Además hay servicio de botecitos para dar un paseo con tu pareja o familia. Es una de la cosas divertidas que puedes hacer. Además puedes hacer ejercicios corriendo alrededor del parque. Hay espacio donde la gente va a ejercitarse o a ensayar sus bailes. Debería haber más vigilancia ya que no falta gente de mal vivir que va a fumar y a tomar por allí. Además parte de las veredas alrededor de la Laguna está en mal estado y es algo que se podría reparar.
(Translated by Google) A nice place to walk with the family (Original) Un lindo lugar para pasear en familia
(Translated by Google) A very good place to relax the mind, the only thing missing is boats to walk around and have a more pleasant experience. (Original) Un lugar muy bueno para relajar la mente, solo faltan botes para pasear y tener una experiencia mas placentera.
(Translated by Google) Nice place during the day, it no longer has restaurants but at night it is pure disco and hustle and bustle... some are not pleasant at all. (Original) Bonito lugar durante el dia, ya no tiene restaurantes pero en las noches es pura discoteca y bullicio.. algunas no son para nada agradables.

Slide 1 of 8
Many things in one place
The smaller of the tow shopping malls in Huanuco, Open Plaza offers a large supermarket (Tottus), a warehouse store (Falabella), cinemas and various small retail shops. As most regional tourists go to the Real Plaza mall during the weekend, the Open Plaza is a quieter option for shopping on Sat and Sun.
There are few stores, there is no variety. it was disappointing.
