Trip Overview
For a long time, the charming northern Peruvian city of Chachapoyas remained relatively isolated from the rest of the country.

While not nearly as famous as Machu Picchu, Kuelap is arguably just as impressive – that’s why it’s often called “The Machu Picchu of Northern Peru.” The comparison is perhaps a little unfair, as the two sites ...
