	Cajamarca (city) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cajamarca is located in the northern highlands of Peru, and is the capital of the Cajamarca region.

	INCALINK CAJAMARCA
		The Inca was displeased with the way in which Pizarro and his men had destroyed and looted two small coastal towns upon their arrival in Peru.
		From that moment on, Cajamarca became the military barracks of the conquistadors until the fall of Cuzco in 1535 and the founding of Lima in that same year.
		Its Andean identity was erased little by little by this conquest, and due to its temperate climate and abundant pastures, it became an important cattle region that imitated those that the Spanish had in their home country.
