Sarcophagi of Karajia, Mummys

and
Señor de Sipan

 Chachapoyas is a land of a mysterious
people whose culture predates the Inca Empire and who were defeated by
the Incas in the 1470´s, 60 years before the arrival of the Spaniards.
The real name and language of this culture was erased from history by
the Incas, but their magnificant cities and fortresses remain to testify
to the greatness of the people the Incas called the "sachapuyo"
people of the cloud covered mountains.
Our journey begins
in the jungle city of Tarapoto where we travel by land from the sweltering
jungle into the fresh cloud forests of Chachapoyas.
 With a base in the city of
Chachapoyas we will visit the 1000 year old ceramic sarcophagi at Karajia
on our first day in Chapapoyas. On the second day we will travel to
the great fortress of Kuelap, one of the largest constructions of mankind.
On the third day we will travel to the town of Leymebamba with a stop
at the musoleums at Revash. In Leymebamba you can visit the local museum
that houses the mummys and artifacts descovered recently in the nearby
Lake of the Condors.
 After leaving Leymebamba
we will travel to Chiclayo on the Pacific coast where we will visit
the Archeological site and museum of the Señor de Sipan one of
the most important finds of the coastal Moche culture.
