OVERNIGHT IN CHACHAPOYAS ON A B&B SHARED BASIS DAY 10: 31 AUG - VISIT KUELAP + CABLE CAR (8 hours approx) Breakfast. 08:00H: In the morning, we will go to Kuelap, a majestic architectural site built by the Chachapoyas. On our way, we will make a brief stop for a panoramic view of the Macro Archaeological site, also known as "Macro Towers" for its characteristic design. Macro is located on the side of a hill overlooking Utcubamba river. We will go to Nuevo Tingo town, where we will board the bus that will take us to the Cable Car station. Once on board the modern cable cars, a short and safe trip will take us to the starting point of the visit to Kuelap. We may climb on foot or on horseback to the "Fortress", which is built on top of the Cerro Barreta (3,000 m.a.s.l.). Kuelap is a place surrounded by beautiful landscapes; at first, it seems inaccessible since it is protected by colossal walls and cliffs on three of its four sides. It has three platforms, and inside they have circular buildings decorated with rhomboidal and zigzag friezes. Its complex interior architecture indicates it predates the Inkan Empire. The surrounding landscape and the natural scenery makes it unforgettable. SHAMAN CEREMONY We will return to Nuevo Tingo town for lunch. 16:00H: More or less return to Chachapoyas city. OVERNIGHT IN CHACHAPOYAS (B, L) ON A B&B SHARED BASIS DAY 11:1 SEPT. -VISIT THE SARCOPHAGUS OF KARAJIA AND QUIOCTA CAVERNS FULL DAY VISIT Breakfast. 08:00H: We will go to a town called Cruz Pata, and then, we will continue towards the burial site of Karajia. We will enjoy a panoramic view of Luya's main square along the way. Cruz Pata, known as the Crosses Plateau, is the starting point of our journey on foot or on horseback to get to Karajia; it takes 30 min. approximately. We will see Karajia sarcophagi, which are part of Chachapoyas pre-Inca culture; these are made of stone, wood and clay, and have an anthropomorphic shape; similar to the heads of Easter Island. They are unique for their enormous size (up to 2.5 meters high). Even though time has passed, being at the top of cliffs with difficult access has allowed these constructions to be well preserved. We will go back to have lunch in the city of Luya. Then, we will visit Quiocta Caverns, an amazing work of nature, located in the district of Lamud, Luya province. Inside these caverns, there are seven rooms with stalagmites and stalactites; each one has a different name due to its curious forms. 16:00H: Then return to Chachapoyas city.

Single supplement US$ 290 per person extra Tips & Gratuities Flights are arranged through me so as to co-ordinate that the group arrives together as far as possible. Flight payments will be made direct to the Travel agent handling our group flight. I would like to mention that I have found that domestic flights in Peru to be cheaper if booked through our Peru Agent rather than from South Africa. That said both International & domestic Peru flights need to be made early to ensure that we have seats to arrive on due date. It also ensures a lesser price paying earlier rather than later.
