The town and its streets are colonial-style, and the buildings are made of adobe with tiled roofs. In the plaza, the church, built of stone during the colonial era, is worth visiting. There are also several mansions with interior courtyards, gardens, and wooden balconies that serve as homes or small local businesses that can be visited.

The Leymebamba Community Museum is located in San Miguel, less than a kilometer from the hotel. It houses more than 200 mummies and 31 quipus rescued from Laguna de los Cóndores in 1996. An ancient Inca trail runs next to the museum, leading to the town of Atuén and forming part of the eastern branch of the Qhapaq Ñan. During colonial times and until the mid-20th century, Leymebamba was an essential stop on the route connecting the northern coast with the Amazon.

The people of Leymebamba are friendly and appreciate visitors. Those interested can visit the workshop of artisan Miguel Huamán, who carves wooden replicas of pieces found in the mausoleums, or the house of Jabier Farje, who teaches the art of backstrap weaving and has interesting stories to share.
