I made it to Chachapoyas , I stayed for a 2 days and now I am going back to Lima. I only have a few minutes before my 20 hours bus ride, so this one will be short. Chachapoyas is a tiny village, there isn´t much going on here, besides going to the ruins of Kuelap or other ruins.

Yesterday I have visited Kuelap  which was quite nice. The Chachapoya people lived there before the Inkas came and overtook them. It is something similar to Macchu Picchu, it is very high up in the mountains, it is very big, but it doesn´t get that many tourists and it is very cheap.

I cannot wait to go up to Macchu Picchu and see that too.

I am posting some pictures of Kuelap and the surrounding mountains.
