HISTORY OF LLACANORA
Llacanora is located 13 kilometers southeast of Cajamarca, on the banks of the river running through the Llacanora Mountain Range (8583 feet above sea level). This district was established on January 2, 1857, in the second government of Ramón Castilla. Llacanora comes from the Quechua word "llacas" which means "to pluck corn" or "land of color," or the word "LLACACAY" which means "narrow or elongated" as indeed is the river to break through the hills and Iliarco Callacpoma. Llacanora is recognized as the "Switzerland of Cajamarca" and the "ETERNAL GREEN VALLEY" for being a totally green district.
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters."
~Genesis 1:1-2
