The affable Ambo district, is the gateway to the stunning Huallaga River valley as a result of the confluence of rivers or Chaupihuaranga Huariaca and Huertas. Its capital Ambo (2063 m) has an irregular floor with gentle slopes, surrounded by the hills of North Arcopunco, Mount Llunca the east, the hills and Pircaycotoal Ishco South communicates with the city of Huanuco via paved road, a distance of 25 km 
If you want to visit the city's attractions can be seen, can be the bridge Huancapata, the Casona de Tambopata, the Temple of Christ the King and Ayancocha Mother Church, one that stands out is the natural and mysterious cave Uchcu Jatun (Runashimi "jatun 'big =' uchku '= space), located in the Pergaypata Chanchao hill near the chapel Lord of the Triumph, 500 m. south of the Plaza de Armas.
The hidden enigma
Jatun Uchcu, is now considered not only a tourist place, but a "reservoir" of incredible stories told by villagers, and so far has not been intensively explored because of its depth (lack of oxygen) and its danger to discourages the explorer and researcher to study. All who have tried to enter, say they have heard in the background is a gold bull tie-do to a lush orange tree, whose fruits are also gold and is surrounded by men petrified and is monitored by a Indian garment shine. It is said that this character, quiet at night and full moon, rising to the surface to play his flute with a delicate melancholy. Manuel Fabian Nieves, in his book "Myths and Legends of Huánuco" tells us: "It is said that one night, a man who had left his home, turned and shouted: 'Enchantment, Enchantment, Come all! On the hill there is a man like silver, shines like the moon and even blurred vision. Come!, There is playing his flute and dancing on a rock. On hearing the cries ran their families and neighbors, but saw no one, only the moon lit up like daylight.
The man did not explain how it disappeared so fast and intrigued stayed all night to see if it appeared again. At dawn, went to the house Allice Tayta to explain to him the man of Jatun Uchcu. The old man replied, telling the following story: The man who appears on the door of Jatun Uchcu, there many years ago, had killed his father. In punishment, justice sentenced him to twenty years imprisonment. While in prison he made the devil and asked her freedom with one condition, that his soul would die a slave. The man without thinking twice accepted the proposal and in the blink of an eye, was released. When he was free again the devil appeared to him to remember the commitment, "he agreed.
The man took the time to ignore the demon and deny any kind of contract ... The hell with the audacity of man, extremely irritated carried him on their shoulders and led him to Jatun Uchcu. There he was condemned to forever take care of the treasures buried in the bowels, and sacrificed.

From that date, the offender takes to the field to graze the bull of gold in the full moon, while he plays his flute ... Once, a woman surprised the man playing his flute and fell in love with him, but the devil did not want the happiness of his slave, led the woman to Ichic Uchcu and buried alive. Since then, every time the sound of the flute, she goes to dance and love trying unsuccessfully to join. Taking as an argument this story many have tried to seize the treasures of Jatun Uchcu, but their attempts have become stones. It says that men are petrified waiting for someone stronger to succeed in defeating the watchful slave and his master to restore life.
What is palpable
Geographically, Jatun Uchcu has a wide variety of metamorphic rocks, some with whimsical figures of animals, people and others with sound of bell, so if you can not doubt is that it was a volcanic vent, as from entry (2300 m) to its 600 m. depth divided into 18 levels, we note the presence of ash (dry, thick and wet) on the walls.
Significantly inside Bitan ha-bats and there are some in the last level puquiales whose origin is an enigma. In the historical aspect, was apparently the animal shelter for 200 thousand years and that the coat of primitive man, this is confirmed by the discovery of fossils of both animals and man (skull); very hidden paintings are also some damaged rock that may have some relationship with Buena Vista. On the tourism, heritage is a gift from nature inviting all people to learn, enjoy and try to decipher whether mystery, but for that you must be very careful to be always in pairs, carry flashlights, candles, ropes, light clothing and if a believer, the hill always give His gift of respect and good future in the course of the visit.
