Fortaleza de Kuelap

We will begin our tour to the impressive pre-Inca citadel of Kuelap at 9:00 am. We will leave from the main square of Chachapoyas and drive along the breathtaking Uctubamba valley for approximately one hour until we reach the center of Nuevo Tingo.

When we arrive we continue the tour to the boarding station of Telecabinas Kuélap (Cable Car). The cable car journey takes approximately 20 minutes and provides stunning views of the gorgeous Andean landscape. When the cable car drops us off in La Malca, we will go on a 25-minute walk to the citadel of Kuelap.

Our professional tour guide will show us around the archaeological site for 3 hours and tell us all about the Chachapoyas people, the Kuelap fortress, and other known facts about the area. This is a perfect opportunity to appreciate the largest pre-Inca archeological site in South America!

When we finish our tour, we will board the cable cars again and return to the village of Tingo.
