Kuelap Fortress

Reviewed By paulfX4441GX - Phoenix, United States

Perched on a mountain top, these pre inca ruins were built by the Chachapoya people beginning in the 5th century and it was only abandoned after the Spanish conquest. We purchased a tour through our hotel in Chachapoyas which included transport, cable car tickets, a two hour guided tour and lunch before return to Chachapoyas. The recently constructed cable car makes access to Kuelap significantly easier than was previously possible, it takes hours of the journey to the ruins and provides a stunning scenic ride across the valley to the ruins. The ruins encompsas the entire area of the ancient city which is located on a mountain peak and constructed from the stone available on site. Most buildings are only partially preserved, having suffered the ravages of overgrowth by trees and other vegetation, but what mremains is significant and gives a good view of how the city must have looked. If you have visited the ubiquitous Inca ruins in other parts of Peru, this is a must see site that highlights one of the many other cultures that made Peru home throughout its long history. Please note that after exiting the cable car, there is still an up-hill hike to get to the ruins. We opted to rent a horse at the visitors' center (40 soles round trip), and we were led along a separate path to the entrance to the ruins where the horse and handler waited for us to complete the tour and then led us back to the visitors' center for our return.

Canon del Sonche

Reviewed By Robert937 - Rotterdam, The Netherlands

The river Sonche runs east to west near the village of Huancas. The slopes on both sides of the river are rocky and steep (unusable for agriculture). Several creeks feed the Sonche and at some points form waterfalls. There is no road at the bottom of the canyon. For all these reasons the view over the canyon is spectacular. Huancas is 8 km (5 miles) from Plaza de Armas in Chachapoyas. The main viewpoint called Mirador del Cañon de Huancas Sonche is 1 km (0.6 mile) from the center of Huancas. Entrance fee 3 Soles. There is a regular (mini)bus service from Chachapoyas (two blocks north from Plaza de Armas) to Huancas. Price 3 Soles one way. I took me 1 hour and 45 minutes to walk from Chachapoyas to Huancas along the dirt road (up 280m), a bit less on the way down.

Mirador Luya Urco

Reviewed By Jas_5555555 - Quito, Ecuador

Weather was cold and damp with occasional showers for a 1/2 day tour which, as it turned out, turned into a private tour as I was the only one with a guide, translator and driver. Seems it is not the tourist season. We visited two look-out points overlooking the Sonche & Huancas Canyons, the home and studio of an award winning master ceramic artist (age 72) in the village of Huanca, and walked the main street in Chachapoyas after I treated my guide and translator for some excellent coffee! I now understand why the people of this area were called the "Cloud People". Fortunately the clouds moved around a lot at the first look-out.

Centro Historico

Reviewed By TonyF1710 - Lima, Peru

Chachapoyas could be a small town, but the people are friendly and the level of delinquency is really low, My tour was around the city, I hired a tour at a travel agency near the main plaza, it was a nice experience to the highlands and history of the people that lived and fought the Incas in the past. Nice story, for sure!
