Discover Chachapoyas, Kuelap and Gocta in Northern Peru with Vilaya Tours
Chachapoyas in northern Peru is the home of Vilaya Tours. We have been running treks and hotel based tours in the area since 1998. The city is a great base for travel to the citadel of Kuelap, the sarcophagi of Karajia and the Mummy Museum of Leymebamba.
The mountain scenery is stunning, with deep canyons, cloud forest and waterfalls including Gocta waterfall, the third highest in the world. These habitats are home to many different birds including some endemics. The rich plant life and a lush greeness is a feature of the Chachapoyas area.
Further afield along our trekking routes you can explore the magnificent tomb sites at Tajopampa, including La Petaca and Diablo Hausi or Lake of the Condors. Follow pre-inca trails to Vira Vira one of the magical Cloud Warrior cities. In general, it has been described as the richest archaeological area in the world in terms of density of archaeological sites.
What is more, Chachapoyas in many ways is still off the beaten track and we don’t have the crowds like in southern Peru. Click on the images below for more information...................
