Peru’s Undiscovered North: The Chachapoyas Mummies


 

In  the remote reaches of the Upper Amazon, originally home to the Chachapoyas (Warriors of the Clouds), recent discoveries, including the pre-Inca mummies at Kuelap and the mysterious sarcophagus of Karajia, have generated a real buzz. Tailor-made Latin America specialist Trips Worldwide offers a 14-night tour focussing on this lesser-known northern region, a treasure trove of pre-Inca culture. Tours depart London daily.

Amongst northern Peru’s snow-capped peaks and charming colonial towns are the country’s most significant pre-Inca sites. After a night in Lima, travellers  transfer to Huarez in the Cordillera Blanca mountain range and visit the archaeological complex of Chavin, a 3,000-year-old site, with enigmatic carved stonework.
 Next is a flight  to Trujillo, a great stepping stone for visits to Huanchaco, a coastal village famous for its reed canoes used by fishermen, and the ancient cities of Chan Chan, Sol y La Luna and El Brujo, all of which rival Machu Picchu.  At Chiclayo,  there is a visit to the  Tumbas Reales museum, market and little-known Tucume, the valley of the pyramids. Further north in the cloud forests of the Amazonas region lies an extensive system of archaeological ruins dating back to one of the least known, yet one of the most advanced pre-Columbian cultures of South America – the Chachapoyas. Recent discoveries, notably the pre-Inca mummies at Kuelap, a spectacular pre-Inca walled city hidden atop a precipitous mountain, have captured the attention of archaeologists worldwide.
