Kuelap

Considered the Machu Picchu of the North.

There's a reason that Chachapoya means "people of the clouds".

Cable Car to Kuelap Lost Citadel, Chachapoyas, Amazonas, Perú

The symbol of Kuelap, land of the Chachapoyas.
#Blue

Constructed between 500 AD and 1493 (therefore pre-dating the Incas), Kuélap rivals Machu Picchu in size but sees only a fraction of the visitors in comparison. So, the appeal of visiting this ruined citadel, situated 3100 metres above sea level in the northern Peruvian mountains, is that you can wander around Kuélap in relative peace and quiet, save for maybe one or two other tour groups. Due to its elevation, the site also affords some stunning panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. It's a 2-3 hour drive from Chachapoyas.
