Kuelap 5 Days: Your complete travel itinerary

Day 1: Lima – Jaén – Chachapoyas

Pick up from Jaén Airport and overland transfer to Chachapoyas. The journey takes approximately 3½ hours. Check-in to your hotel.

Day 2: Chachapoyas – Gocta Falls

In the morning after breakfast we embark on the 1-hour ride to the village of Cocachimba, where for generations the people have made their living cultivating sugarcane and jungle fruits. From here, it a 2½- to 3-hour trek through the cloud forest down to base of the Gocta Falls. At 2,529 feet high (771 meters), Gocta was first revealed to the wider world in March 2006 by German engineer Stefan Ziemendorff, who proclaimed it the third highest waterfall on the planet. (In fact, it the 15th highest, but no less beautiful, especially during the rainy season from November to April. The trade-off of going during that period are the wet conditions, which make the hike more challenging.) Return to Chachapoyas. (B/L)

Day 3: Chachapoyas – Sarcophagi of Karajia – Huancas

Following breakfast we head in private vehicle through several picturesque villages to arrive about 2½ hours later at the town of Cruz Pata. From here it is 45 minute walk to reach the famous Sarcophagi of Karajia, built into the walls of a cliff. From the vantage point below, we can see more than 30 intact sarcophagi, joined in groups of 4 to 8, with red and white painted faces.

On the return trip, we stop in the town of Huancas. Built by the Inca, the town’s residents were forced to migrate from Huanuco to pacify the warrior Chachapoya culture, which resisted Inca conquest. The main industry in Huancas is ceramics, and the town remains the primary supplier of pottery for the region. All the artisans in the town are women. After some time to shop, explore on your own and have some lunch, we will continue on to a scenic lookout with a great view of the Sonche Canyon. Return to the hotel in Chachapoyas. (B)

Day 4: Chachapoyas – Kuelap

We spend the day in the Fortress of Kuelap, known as the “Machu Picchu of Northern Peru.” Box Lunch included. It is an hour’s journey to Nuevo Tingo, where you will board the new aerial tramway system to reach the Chachapoya temple fortress. The 30-minute cable car ride offers stunning views of the valley and surrounding mountains. Kuelap contains more than 400 stone buildings within its walls. It’s the largest limestone structure in the Americas. Built at an altitude of more than 9,840 feet above sea level (3000m.a.s.l.), orchids and bromeliads covers the walls and trees of the complex. Return to the hotel in Chachapoyas. (B/BOX LUNCH)

Day 5: Chachapoyas – Jaén Airport
