PROGRAM

A program for travelers with limited time to visit the Chachapoyas but that offers the option to explore the amazing Kuelap Citadel, The Leymebamba museum with its collection of 200 mummies, the Revash Tombs and the Macro Towers . Includes short treks on foot and horseback, and all meals and accommodation at the charming El Chillo Hacienda Lodge.

The Pre-Columbian Chachapoyas culture, conquered in the 15th century by the Incas, has left a landscape scattered with villages and burial sites which until recently has been largely overlooked by archaeologists.
Situated in the cloud forests around the town of Chachapoyas in Peru's northern Amazonas Department, these sites are dominated by the mighty fortress of Kuelap, perched majestically atop mountain-top cliffs overlooking the verdant Andean landscape.
In Chachapoyas, remnants of the past invite discovery by the bold adventurer, and the cultures of the present extend a friendly welcome.
Six fixed departure programs allow clients to explore and discover Chachapoyas and Cajamarca, site of the first contact between the Spanish conquistadors and the Inca civilization. These programs are new and are specially designed for those people with a special interest in archaeology, or for those with a taste for adventure.
The area is still new to tourism, but we have taken every care to provide as comfortable a stay as possible, with air-conditioned vehicles and expert guides.
