Experience Chachapoyas

GASTRONOMY

If your taste palette is adventurous, then Chachpoya is an ideal place to try Peruvian delicacies such as Cuy (Guinea pig). In this cloud forest, you’ll able to find many restaurants offering tasty, traditional cuisine with the more popular dishes being Cecina and trout.

CULTURE

Belonging to and built by the former pre-Inca Chachapoyas culture, the Kuelap fortress is a sight to experience while traveling in northern Peru. The complex consists of an impressive 20-meter (66-foot) tall stone wall and 420 circular stone houses adorned with interesting zigzag and geometric designs. You’ll be wowed by the seemingly intact condition of this ancient structure built in 500 AD.

ADVENTURE

The Chachapoyas region is a hub for any number of cultural and nature excursions, including everything from visits to record-breaking waterfalls to dizzyingly deep canyons and the unique pre-Inca ruins of the Chachapoyas culture. Fill your itinerary with ruins tours, horseback riding along canyon trails, and gentle strolls through the Amazonian cloud forest.

NATURE

Standing at an impressive height of 771 meters, the popular Gocta waterfall is a sight that cannot be missed when visiting this region of Peru. Take a 2-hour trek through the Peruvian cloud forest to experience the power of this cascading wonder. Or take a visit to the recently discovered Yumbilla waterfall which is even taller with a height of 895 meters! And on the way to these destinations, be on the lookout for the beautifully colored ‘Cock of the Rocks’.
