About Chachapoyas
Chachapoyas is a town in northern Peru, in a valley surrounded by cloud forest. Its Plaza de Armas features a bronze fountain and colonial buildings like the Palacio Municipal. The town is a gateway to archaeological sites such as Kuélap, a walled city with hundreds of buildings from the ancient Chachapoyas civilization. North of town, the huge Gocta Waterfall is set amid jungle sheltering toucans and monkeys.
