PROGRAM
Classic five-day fixed
departure to the lost kingdom of the Chachapoyas features visits to the
stunning Kuelap Citadel, the Revash Tombs, the Macro Towers and the
spectacular Leymebamba Museum with its mysterious mummies. Includes
short treks on foot and horseback, and all meals and accommodation at
the charming El Chillo 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, remanents of the past invite discovery by the bold
adventurer, and the cultures of the present extend a friendly welcome.
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.
