These three days were our very own Inka Trail, but to the Chachapoyan fortress of Kuelap. First night we were the only tourists in the village. Second day went well until the guide lost the trail and we had to fight our way down what seemed at times a sheer drop mountain side through thick undergrowth. After 6 hours walking a great lunch. Third day was up, up, up...J cheated and took the bus!
Kuelap, at 3000m, is totally different from Macchu Picchu, a different culture, pre Inka and just as amazing. It's huge, mostly in ruin, but enough left for the imagination.
