Overshadowed by the Incas in popular knowledge, the Chachapoya culture ruled over a large area of what is now the Amazonas region of northern Peru. The name Chachapoya was likely given to the group by their Inca conquerors, derived from a Quechua phrase meaning “cloud forest”. On the way you will see the large plains of rice in the province of Uctubamba, you will also pass through the hottest city of the Amazon region Bagua Grande. Afternoon arrival to Chachapoyas after an approximately 4 hours drive. (None) Day #2 Kuelap| Many consider it to be the second most impressive ruin complex in Peru, known as The Machu Picchu of the North In the morning you will explore the ancient fortress of the Chachapoyas known as Kuelap. a magnificent Pre-Inca fortress which many consider it to be the second most impressive ruin complex in Peru after Machu Picchu, with a parallel drawn between the stunning settings of the two archaeological sites. Moreover, it is the largest ancient stone structure in south America. Embraced by the dense forest of the Andean mountains, Kuelap fortress pays testament to a pre-Inca civilization lost to history. Climb aboard a cable car and enjoy spectacular views of the Utcubamba Valley as you ascend to Kuelap fortress’ vertiginous perch. From Kuelap tourist center, choose to take a 20-minute uphill hike or horseback ride (optional) to the archaeological site. Enter through a gap in the 65-foot (20-meter) walls and appreciate more than 400 dwelling and ceremonial buildings alongside history-rich commentary from your guide. After thorough exploration, return to Tingo Nuevo town for lunch and then relax during the transfer back to your hotel. (Breakfast, Lunch) Day #3 Gotca| Amongst the world’s loftiest waterfalls is in constant contention; have been ranked everywhere from 3rd to 15th Today you will enjoy a day trip to the Gocta Waterfalls, plunging from a height of 2,529 feet (771 meters), are some of the highest in the world. You’ll travel for approximately 1.5 hours to Cocachimba, where your 3-hour hiking tour through dramatic Amazon landscapes begins. Experience the spectacular jungle scenery which is abundant: see monkeys swinging between trees and, with luck, spot the native Peruvian bird known as the cock of the rock. On arrival at the Gocta Waterfalls fill the power of this natural wonder, while you have chance to plunge into the pools created by some of the world’s highest falls — note these pools are pretty cold. Following free time to relax at the waterfalls, you’ll return to Cocachimba and revitalize with lunch before returning to your hotel. (Breakfast, Lunch) Day #4 Karajia Sarcophagi & Quiocta Caverns| Guard the secrets and the legacy of the ancient Chachapoyas people Today you will enjoy an excursion to The Karajia Sarcophagi and Caverna de Quiocta, two of country’s most spectacular and overlooked attractions. Combine ancient history with adventure on this 10-hour excursion, which offers insight into pre-Inca culture. Marvel at the 600-year-old Karajia Sarcophagi, funeral tombs perched on the side of a limestone cliff. During the walk, your guide provides historical context for the funeral tombs, created to house the corpses of wise men in pre-Inca culture. Capture photographs of the impressive anthropomorphic statues, some of which measure 8 feet (2.5 meters), before revitalizing with lunch in the city of Luya. Proceed to your next stop, the magnificent Caverna de Quiocta, studded with stalactites, stalagmites, and rock formations of outstanding natural beauty. Explore the caverns by flashlight, admiring bizarre limestone formations, before returning to daylight and concluding your tour with your drive back to your hotel. (Breakfast, Lunch) Day #5 Revash Mausoleums & Leymebamba | Cream- colored mausoleums to house important members of the society Calling all history enthusiasts, today you will head to Revash, known as the ‘Village of the Dead’ because of its 14th-century mausoleums. Discover these mausoleums, which are high valuable constructions of funeral homes. Travel to the funerary complex on horseback and from a distance of approximately 328 feet (100 meters), you’ll observe the 14th-century mausoleums and listen to commentary regarding their construction from your guide. Observe the funeral homes, characterized by their colored roofs and cross-shaped windows. Note the surrounding cave paintings and the gabled roofs of the structures, and marvel at their seemingly precarious position on the side of a limestone cliff. Then, immerse into the Chachapoyas history at the Leymebamba Museum, which replicates local architectural traditions and plays host to a 240-strong collection of mummies excavated from the nearby Lagoon of the Condors. In the garden, more than 100 species of orchid bloom prettily. After lunch at the museum, your tour concludes with drop-off at your hotel. (Breakfast and Lunch).

  • Languages of the Middle Andes in Areal-Typological Perspective: Emphasis on Quechuan and Aymaran
    Languages of the Middle Andes in areal-typological perspective: Emphasis on Quechuan and Aymaran Willem F.H. Adelaar 1. Introduction1 Among the indigenous languages of the Andean region of Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, northern Chile and northern Argentina, Quechuan and Aymaran have traditionally occupied a dominant position. Both Quechuan and Aymaran are language families of several million speakers each. Quechuan consists of a conglomerate of geo- graphically defined varieties, traditionally referred to as Quechua “dialects”, not- withstanding the fact that mutual intelligibility is often lacking. Present-day Ayma- ran consists of two distinct languages that are not normally referred to as “dialects”. The absence of a demonstrable genetic relationship between the Quechuan and Aymaran language families, accompanied by a lack of recognizable external gen- etic connections, suggests a long period of independent development, which may hark back to a period of incipient subsistence agriculture roughly dated between 8000 and 5000 BP (Torero 2002: 123–124), long before the Andean civilization at- tained its highest stages of complexity. Quechuan and Aymaran feature a great amount of detailed structural, phono- logical and lexical similarities and thus exemplify one of the most intriguing and intense cases of language contact to be found in the entire world. Often treated as a product of long-term convergence, the similarities between the Quechuan and Ay- maran families can best be understood as the result of an intense period of social and cultural intertwinement, which must have pre-dated the stage of the proto-lan- guages and was in turn followed by a protracted process of incidental and locally confined diffusion.

  • Branch Overview on Sustainable Tourism in Peru. Sippo.Ch Welcome
    Branch Overview on Sustainable Tourism in Peru. sippo.ch Welcome. The Andes, which originate in Patagonia and extend over seven thousand kilometers in South America, have shaped a variety of landscapes, peoples and cultures. Amidst the Andes, Peru is the repository of immeasurable wealth, both tangible and intangible. Icons and “Unique Selling Positions” are Machu Picchu and the mystical city of Cusco, the birthplace of the Inca Empire. But the country offers a lot more to visitors. Our vision is to expand tourism destinations in Peru beyond Machu Picchu to give greater value to the country‘s rich cultural heritage, its abundant biodiversity and world-class gastronomy. The State Secretary for Economic Affairs SECO has been sup- porting sustainable tourism in Peru since 2003, together with two strategic Swiss partners. In cooperation with Swisscontact, SECO promotes the concept of Destination Management Organi- sations (DMOs), which represents a dynamic platform where public and private actors jointly position their regional tourist des- tinations in the international market. This project has led to the establishment of six DMOs in Southern Peru as well as one covering the north of the country. SECO is also financing the Swiss Import Promotion Programme SIPPO which assists leading SMEs with a clear focus on quality and sustainability in their efforts to market their touristic offers internationally. The Branch Overview on Sustainable Tourism in Peru is a useful milestone in these efforts, providing Swiss tourism business partners and consumers with suitable products in Peru. I wish all readers of the Branch Overview a successful reading and Disclaimer can promise them that SECO will continue to work towards the The information provided in this publication is believed to be ac- growth of tourism in Peru for the benefit of both the Peruvian and curate at the time of writing.

  • Animals of the Cloud Forest: Isotopic Variation of Archaeological Faunal Remains from Kuelap, Peru
    ANIMALS OF THE CLOUD FOREST: ISOTOPIC VARIATION OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL FAUNAL REMAINS FROM KUELAP, PERU by SAMANTHA MARIE MICHELL B.S. Idaho State University, 2014 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Anthropology in the College of Sciences at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Summer Term 2018 © 2018 Samantha Michell ii ABSTRACT Stable isotopic analyses of faunal remains are used as a proxy for reconstructing the ancient Chachapoya dietary environment of the northeastern highlands in Peru. Archaeologists have excavated animal remains from refuse piles at the monumental center of Kuelap (AD 900-1535). This archaeological site is located at 3000 meters above sea level (m.a.s.l.), where C3 plants dominate the region. The study presented here is one of the few in the Central Andes that uses faunal remains to develop local isotopic baselines, reconstruct resource exploitation, and provide insight into dietary variation. Bone collagen stable carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotopes are used to investigate animal diets of nine local fauna (Camelidae, Cervidae, Caviidae, Chinchillidae, Cuniculidae, Leporidae, Felidae, Canidae, and Aves). Different taxonomic families were evaluated to explore the range of isotopic variation within and between these animals. Stable carbon and nitrogen isotopic values of both the wild and domesticated Kuelap faunal samples suggest a diet of both C3 and C4 plant foods. Significant dietary differences were identified between domesticated and wild animals (specifically camelid and cervid), suggesting ecological differences or strategic provisioning from possible domestic C4 crops (maize) by humans. The domesticated camelids displayed a large isotopic variation similar to other highland archaeological studies in Peru, with an average δ13C value of –14.13 ‰ and a standard deviation of 2.96.

De acuerdo a las noticias del periodista Alvaro Rocha y de los funcionarios del INC Chachapoyas, peones del ganadero Ullilén llegaron casualmente al desolado sitio. Al percatarse de la presencia de mausoleos y con la idea de enriquecerse, revolvieron y maltrataron aproximadamente una quinta parte de los cerca de 200 fardos funerarios que allí se encontraban intactos desde 700-500 años atrás. La evaluación del hallazgo permitió generar un informe presentado a PROMPERU y al Instituto Nacional de Cultura, por el que se solicitaba inventariar, catalogar y estudiar el extenso material depredado (del todo y a medias) y dejar como reserva arqueológica el resto, protegiendolo con una reja metálica especialmente confeccionada.

  • Settlement Organization and Architecture in Late Intermediate Period Chachapoyas, Northeastern Peru
    SETTLEMENT ORGANIZATION AND ARCHITECTURE IN LATE INTERMEDIATE PERIOD CHACHAPOYAS, NORTHEASTERN PERU Anna Guengerich Chachapoya societies that lived on the forested eastern slopes of the Andes in northern Peru between A.D. 1000 and 1450 remain largely absent from broader narratives of the Andean Late Intermediate period (LIP). This paper argues that envi - ronmentally deterministic frameworks and lingering Inka biases have led scholars to problematically isolate Chachapoyans from their highland contemporaries. This work reviews three aspects of Chachapoya built environments— settlement pat - terning, internal organization, and architectural style— in order to provide a baseline for comparison with other regions. Chachapoyas shared a pattern of hilltop settlement locations with nearly all of the highlands, which suggests that its inhab - itants faced the same shared factors that prompted changes in settlement organization on a massive scale in this region during the LIP. At the same time, comparison of Chachapoya built environments with others of the northern, central, and southern highlands highlights the considerable diversity within and between regions. This demonstrates that Chachapoyas is best interpreted as simply one of many regions that were characterized by distinctive spatialities and architectural forms. These reflected locally specific cultural practices and social institutions. Including Chachapoyas and other regions of the Eastern Andes in accounts of the LIP underscores the diversity and dynamism that characterized this period
