Kuelap in Pictures

On Monday through Wednesday we went to Chachapoyas and visited La Fortaleza (Fortress) de Kuelap. It was incredibleand as impressive as Macchu Pichu. An amazing ruin of a very interesting culture, and there were barely any tourists (we saw less than 20). There is too much to write about right now, so hopefully the pictures tell part of the story.

Ruins, cloud forest, and llamas inside Kuelap... que fuerte!

Kim in the main entrance to Kuelap. It narrows down to only fit one person at a time and was used to fend off invaders.

A puma inscribed in one of the bricks in the entrance.
