Trip Overview

DESCRIPTION

X Travel Peru would like to present to you our quite new tour: Chachapoyas – Peru Tour 4D/3N. Let’s enjoy an exploration of the Gocta Waterfall and the fortress of Kuelap at a slower pace.

During all the tours, you will be accommodated at the luxury hotel Gocta Lodge which each large and comfortable room faces the Gocta Waterfall. You will have a chance to observe this 3rd biggest waterfall in Peru from far as well as from a short distance. That is because you are going to take a trip to the waterfall observing amazing sceneries as well as diverse fauna and flora. For example, many orchids, birds, and butterfly species.

Another day, you will discover the tremendous fortress of Kuelap build by the mystical Chachapoyas in the 6th century AD. The Chachapoyas were also known as the “Warriors of the Clouds”. They lived in the Amazon part of the Andes surrounded by cloud forests of the nowadays Amazonas Region. The Chachapoyas inhabited an extensive territory. However, based on a 2013 BBC documentary, only 5% of the Chachapoyas sites have been uncovered!

Kuelap is located at an altitude of over 3000 meters amidst cloud forests on a crest above the valley of the Utcubamba River. It covers an area of 6 hectares. The massive walls of the fortress rise to a height between 10 and 20 meters and consist of finely worked limestone blocks weighing up to 3 tons! Kuelap is composed of 550 structures and stone water canals!.
