From this natural promontory, we have a panoramic view and we understand why Pizarro hid his henchmen and his firearms there. Above all, it is a splendid natural viewpoint from which to appreciate the city and the beautiful Cajamarca valley in all its magnificence. Going up the stairs, you will find the chapel dedicated to the "Virgen de Fátima" and at the top you can see archaeological remains and above all a seat carved in the rock and decorated with an engraved sun, known as the "Silla del Inca" (Inca chair).

De ce promontoire naturel, on a une vue panoramique sur la ville et sur les montagnes environnantes : on comprend pourquoi Pizarro y cacha ses sbires et ses armes à feu. Dans le jardin (entrée : S/ 1), on aperçoit çà et là des traces de constructions incas et surtout un siège taillé dans la roche et orné d'un soleil gravé, le trône de l'Inca.
Une belle promenade à partir de la place des Armas permet de monter jusqu'au sommet de cette colline historique.Belle vue du sommet.
