Revash

A funeral center that’s built into a cliff-side, and features “chullpas” or houses of the dead, which closely resemble the houses that the Chachapoyas lived in. The adobe and stone construction is painted in a mix of red and white horizontal panels. The burial houses contain the remains of ropes, nets, necklaces, bones etc., all of which appear to have been offerings to the dead. The majority of these “funeral houses” have a ceiling of wooden beams, and their exterior walls contain prominent cornices, and niches in quadrangular, circular and T-shapes. The site is extremely well preserved as the cliff provides shelter, preventing the kind of weathering found at other Chachapoyan ruins.
