How to travel to Chachapoyas

There are 3 entry city's if you want to fly most of the way, Tarapoto and Chiclayo have equal road trips from those airports of 8 hours, and Cajamarca's airport is more like 12 hours away. These flying options are about 4 times as expensive as road from Lima.

 Movil Tours has direct buses Lima/Chachapoyas that pass through & leave Chiclayo. 

Civa has daily bed buses from Lima which takes around 22 hours with movies and meals furnished on board like Movil Tours. Cost is about US$45 one way from Lima.

Zelada offers daily service at a bit of a discount, and Paredes Estrella has a bed bus, but you must get off at Pedro Ruis and take a combi leaving about every hour for a 2-hour trip for about $2.

Most of the bus stations are in La Victoria a walk apart, but to get downstairs for a "full bed" you may need to buy your ticket in the day on the double deck bus to reserve. These leave in the evening, so with a sleeping pill and the long trip isn't bad at all. Take a throw or blanket for the night.

There are nightly service from Trujillo (Peru) | Trujillo (4PM) and Chiclayo (7PM and 8PM) & arrive in Chachapoyas around 5AM. Civa three times a week from Lima and nightly from Chiclayo. Transervis Kuelap and Transportes Zelada have nightly buses from Chiclayo.

A more arduous route takes 2 days from Vilcabamba & Zumba in Ecuador crosses the frontier at Balsas & goes via San Ignacio to Chachapoyas.

You can also arrive from Tarapoto to the east. Getting down from the buses in Pedro Ruiz and catching local transport for the final leg up to Chachapoyas.

Theres´s only one daily service from Cajamarca leaving at 4:30AM with Virgen del Carmen (S/50 one way, May 2014), Movil tours has discontinued its more comfortable service. Thit is a spectacular road to travel and in a big bus definitely not for the faint-hearted.

Kuelap Restoration - Restored Building Kuelap

What to see in Chachapoyas

• Kuelap - an ancient stone city with walls up to 12 m high - the largest pre-Inca ruins in South America. Some older information you may find says that you need to walk for several hours to get there but there is now better access by car. There's a 1 km walk to the site which takes about 20 min. If it's raining the path will be very muddy, so take nice shoes. As if 2010 and the track was a cosctedvyo be paved soon. About 2 hours trip from Chachapoyas. Tours will make a short stop on the way to view the ruins of Macro, a group of pre-Inca dwellings and burial chambers built on the side of a mountain - they're viewed from across the valley.
• Karajia - anthropormorphic sarcophagi built on a narrow cliff ledge. Tours (~S/60) combine this with a trip to Pueblo de los Muertos (Town of the Dead), another site with several different types of sarcophagi built on cliff sides, along with houses. The walk here is a couple of kilometers but quite steep. If it's raining then the Pueblo is inaccessible and Quiocta Cavern is used as an alternative.
• Revash - cliff tombs that look like small houses with many pictographs.
• Museum of Leymebamba - houses and cares for 219 mummies and thousands of artifacts recovered from cliff tombs in 1997.
• Gran Vilaya - a popular trekking route through cloud forest.
• Tajopampa - cliff tomb sites.
• Gocta Waterfalls -Measured in 2004 as 711m high, Gocta is likely Peru's most impressive waterfall. Easily visited as a day trip from Chachapoyas or by overnighting in the villages of Cocachimba or San Pablo (Peru).
• Yumbilla (895m), Chinata (540m) and other large waterfalls near the villages of Cuispes or San Carlos (Peru).

• Levanto | The nearest ruins to Chachapoyas, 2 hours by vehicle - Perhaps the best unrestored major Inca 3000km road passes through here and the section from Levanto to Chachapoyas is a spectacular 3 to 4 downhill walk. It starts at an restored Inca Military Garrison that guards this major intersection. A side path will take you up to Yelape and the 2nd largest fortress after Kuelap, with many more buildings. Levanto has a church started in 1558 AD by the Conquestadores, with a high Gold plated altar. The village has a modern lodge built to look just like an ancient Cloud Forest building, and this same team also built the restored house in Kuelap and the Military Garrison. Levanto was the last and largest Chachapoyan city conquered by the Incas, and later the Spanish capital until it was moved to a warmer elevation of Levanto's annex of Chachapoyas.

Tours

There are several tour agencies, many located on the Plaza. They all offer identical itineraries for around the same price, but each runs their own tours so the quality of guides and drivers may vary - ask around.

• The agency located in Hostal Amazonas was very good and the woman there is quite nice and Carlos and the guide, was excellent - knowledgeable and very friendly.
• Turismo Explorer on the Plaza de Armas is well run by Jose. Highly recommended
• Before you pay for a tour, you may wish to meet the guide and the morning of your tour to ensure yourself that he actually can speak your language. Some agencies such as Andes Tours, operating from the Hotel Revash, will tell you what you want to hear just to sell their products. They do not always deliver what they say they will.
