Chachapoyas is a town in northern Peru, in a valley surrounded by cloud forests. Its Plaza de Armas features a bronze fountain and colonial buildings like the Palacio Municipal. The town is a gateway to archaeological sites such as Kuélap, a walled city with hundreds of buildings from the ancient Chachapoyas civilization. North of town, the huge Gocta Waterfall is set amid jungle sheltering toucans and monkeys. Ticket passes take you around to visit all these beautiful sites.
Sightseeing tours in chachapoyas take you through the wonders of the Amazon, kuélap, which is a pre In-can settlement built by the “cloud warriors” of northern Andes and much more. Hop-on-hop-off tours are mostly by using cable cars to travel from Kuélap to Gocta. You will take walking tours from Chachapoyas in direction of the town of San Bartolo from
where the walk of approximately 30 minutes to the Revash mausoleums begins. Revash is a funerary complex composed of "chullpas" (funerary towers) of one and two floors of height, painted of other colors. Day trips in Chachapoya involve hiking to Cocachimba, a paradise in the middle of the jungle that houses several waterfalls.
Other outdoor activities include traveling to the town of Huancas, and visiting the Huanca Unco viewpoint from which you can observe the Amazon Andes and the Utcubamba river. Also, visiting Rodriguez de Mendoza which offers the world the great aroma and flavor of its award-winning coffee, but has much more in store for visitors that venture down into the valley.
