Peregrinación del Señor de Pumallucay

The Señor de Pumallucay temple features architectural elements from the Renaissance period, with detailed stonework and balanced proportions throughout its structure.

The temple's construction began in 1594 under Toribio de Mogrovejo's direction and underwent reconstruction between 1995 and 1997 following the original Renaissance design.

The annual September 14 pilgrimage draws thousands of faithful from regions including Pomabamba, Mariscal Luzuriaga, Carhuás, Huaraz, Yungay, Asunción, and Huari.

Located 20 minutes from San Luis center and 5 hours from Huaraz, the temple provides accommodation facilities for pilgrims during major religious celebrations.

The temple's wooden decorations were created by artisans and students from Don Bosco Workshop School, incorporating local craftsmanship into the Renaissance structure.
