chachapoyas

The Chachapoyas, also called the Warriors of the Clouds, were an andean people living in the cloud forests of the Amazonas region of present-day Peru. The Incas conquered their civilization shortly before the arrival of the Spanish in Peru. When the Spanish arrived in Peru in the 16th century, the Chachapoyas were one of the many nations ruled by the Inca empire. Their incorporation into the Inca empire had not been easy, due to their constant resistance to the Inca troops.

i spent 3 days in the city of chachapoyas, in the cloud forest in the montains of north peru. The people and the countryside are incredible, there s some beautiful ruins of the chachapoyas civilisation, called Kuelap. and some small and beautiful villages around, some nice walks on some inca trails...
