Valuing Combayo Industrial Heritage - Cajamarca

an hour and a half from the city of Cajamarca is located Combayo community. There, in the early twentieth century, the thriving family Santolalla established the first refinery of metals in the region also built a house there too hydroelectric generation, a mill and a mill, which today still has the old stone disk as evidence of a past industrious.

from all of this important industrial complex, today there are only remnants left behind by the great house farm, house workers, a lone chimney, canals and metal objects, a while back plodding exclusive pieces machinery, and now scattered around the sunny rural setting.

This place is easy to find hidden in the undergrowth, Pelton wheels, impellers, crucibles, metal pipes, wells, mine shafts carts include more objects, rusted and sunk into oblivion. Not surprisingly easy to leave with this set of pieces scattered in a scenario where we are rather accustomed to finding archaeological remains. The fact is that this area of \u200b\u200bCombayo save a precious industrial heritage, perhaps compared with those French and English regions where the first hydroelectric power plants, furnaces and chimneys of its first industries.

Fortunately, there is the interest of a social group of managers who are looking for fashion, and financing, to give value to the industrial complex, restoring the house, setting up a museum to preserve the industrial heritage context, reconstructing the scene and especially to give continuity to the project to which he belongs, in national terms, the cultural circuit of industrial heritage in the north, next to the sugar mills of La Libertad and Lambayeque, and railroads of Puerto Eten.

From here, we call on all those who have more information about the industrial heritage of Combayo to share your information and recover the history of our industrial heritage.
