The stone forest of Pampachiri (also known as Pampa de Pabellones or Páncula) is a natural formation of pointy rocks that reach up to 10 meters high.
Videographer Daniel Katanella recently recorded a video for those interested in learning more about this destination in Peru. Located in the Apurímac region, 120 kilometers away from the city of Andahuaylas, these rock formations amaze one and all
According to Peru Travel, these rocks were formed about 3 million years ago from the volcanic material that was expelled in the area, from the Qarwarasu and Sotaya volcanoes, and it extends up to 60 hectares.
In Daniel’s video, you can also enjoy the Smurf-like houses where the people of the Apurímac region live.
“The rock formations are located at 3,600 meters above sea level”, Daniel told Traveling & Living in Peru, noting some of the formations that are shaped like mushrooms.
