Itinerary

Full DayChachapoyas - Cable Car/Kuelap

This full-day excursion begins and ends in the enchanting city of Chachapoyas. After a morning pickup, you’ll have a prior drive to Nuevo Tingo, stopping mid-way to get panoramic views over the site of Macro, known for its ancient Towers built on a mountain cliff. Continue to the ticket office for checking in, followed by a short 10-min bus transfer to the Cable Car boarding platform. You will travel over a 4km line on board a cabin with stunning views over Utcubamba Valley, this transfer will take you to Malca, where you’ll start a short 30-min hike until you hit the huge walls of the site of Kuelap which stands over 3000 meters!

Discovered in 1843, this walled city sits on top of Cerro Barreta overlooking the Utcubamba Valley and was built by the Pre-Inca Chachapoyas Culture. Join the expert historian guide and have a walkthrough of the interior complex, which at first, seems inaccessible as it is protected by colossal walls and cliffs on three of its four sides. The tour includes a visit of Mayor Temple and the three platforms filled with more than 500 circular buildings beautifully decorated with rhomboidal and zigzag friezes.

The surrounding natural scenarios will make this visit unforgettable. We will return to Nuevo Tingo town in time for lunch. Then return to Chachapoyas city (5:00 pm approx.).
