Did you know? Chachapoyas

Chachapoyas sits at 2,670 metres elevation in Peru's cloud forest region, making it one of South America's most biodiverse areas with species found nowhere else.

The city was founded in 1538 by Spanish conquistadors and retains its colonial grid layout with whitewashed buildings that earned it the nickname 'City of the Mists'.

Gocta Waterfall, near Chachapoyas, was unknown to the outside world until 2002 and at 771 metres is Peru's third-highest waterfall.

The pre-Incan Chachapoya culture built Kuelap fortress around 600 AD—a massive stone citadel with 3-metre walls that predates Machu Picchu by centuries.

The region's cuisine heavily features local trout (truchas), cuy (guinea pig), and fresh dairy products from high-altitude valleys.
