Om
Hurtige fakta: Fire enorme stenbuer rejser sig 11 meter høje, udhugget af pink granit, der er transporteret 40 kilometer væk. Monumentet mindes slaget ved Junín i 1824, en af de sidste konflikter i Perus uafhængighedskrig fra Spanien.
Højdepunkter: I modsætning til de mere iøjnefaldende monumenter i andre andinske byer er dette lavet af kolossale pink granitblokke, der lyser orangebrændt ved solnedgang. Lokale samles her hver aften til spontane gadebodder og dominospil, hvilket gør det til et levende fællesskabsrum snarere end et statisk monument.
Insidertips
- Come around 5 PM to catch the sunset light hitting the granite blocks and turning them a deep orange.
- Bring small coins to buy anticuchos (grilled beef heart skewers) from the vendors who set up nearby in the evening.
- Skip going inside the archway itself during midday the sun is harsh and the shadows offer no relief.
- Combine this with a walk through the nearby Plaza de Armas, just 5 minutes on foot.
