This Sanctuary is located at more than 4 thousand meters of altitude. Inside, there are more than 4 thousand natural rock formations in unlikely shapes, such as bears, elephants, turtles and more.

The Huayllay National Sanctuary covers a total of 6 thousand hectares. In them, visitors will find stone figures that seem impossible. Wind erosion over millions of years has created cliffs in the shapes of a bear, an elephant, an alpaca, a turtle, a cobra and much more.
