Itinerary:
Our day begins at 8:00 AM.
• We leave the city of Chachapoyas en route to the province of Luya, first going down into the Utcubamba Valley, the most emblematic area of this pre-Columbian civilization. After passing the left side of the Utcubamba, high up on the mountains adjacent to it, is the village of Lamud.
• In Lamud we will make a stop where we will reserve our lunches in advance before driving 30 more minutes to the cave. Lunches will be eaten on the way back when returning from the cave. The cave is located 2700 meters above sea level and has a horizontal depth of 550 meters. Inside we will have time to appreciate the rock formations formed by millions of years of speleogenesis as well as archaeological remains left by the Chachapoyas in their funerary and sacred rituals.
• Afterwards we return to Lamud for our lunches. From Lamud we will drive for an hour to the village of Cruzpata and from there we will hike 2 kilometers to the sarcophagi of Karajia. (Horses and mules are also available if desired.) Once we reach Karajia our professional guide will show us around the site. We will learn about the religious beliefs of the Chachapoyas and other cultural factors that archaeologists have discovered in recent years
• We will conclude the visit by pointing out all of the different sarcophagi in the area and examining them from all possible angles. Afterwards, we will drive back to Chachapoyas arriving in the city around 6:00 to 6:30 PM.
