The long and winding road to Peru
We are now in Peru. Our last night in Ecuador was at Zumba where we bushcamped at Zumba River. We just pulled over and tried to get off the road, but we were obviously very visible as every vehicle (buses, rancheras - they are open sided buses - and others) hooted as they came past – all through the night! Didn't feel very safe, but we were …
Last few days in Peru
I'd heard from reliable sources that Chachapoyas was worth a trip, and that I could then access the Ecuadorian border from there instead of travelling back to the coast, so off I went on ANOTHER overnight bus along winding roads which took 9 hours. What a relief to get there!
I got myself a good deal in a hotel on the main plaza (it's a …
Indiana Jones and the Fortress of Kuelap!
Our next stop was the hillside town of Chachapoyas. Poised on a plateau between two river gorges, it's 14 hours from Trujillo by bus along a winding mountain road. Chachapaoyas is the perfect base for exploring more of northern Peru's numerous Pre-Inca archeological sites. We were joined on the bus by a strange mix of local people carrying produce …
Laid back day
Today we woke up early but stayed in bed late since we didn't have a tour to catch. Got a late breakfast at Cafe Fusions (nice chill place, some backpackers, good desserts/breakfast, not too expensive), visited the market to buy some fruit and pinto beans, which are native to the area, and bought a bus ticket from Movil Tours to Trujillo for …
Kuelap
Woke up early to get breakfast at the local market since the hostal doesn't offer any and to start our Kuelap tour at 8:30 AM. The trip took two and a half hours to get there and we stopped twice (once to take photos and another time to put our order in for lunch) before we started the hike up. The walk up was a little hard, but wasn't very long. …

To preface this review, I'm usually used to staying in hostals and paying around 30 soles per night per person. I originally booked a double for 60 soles/night, but we upgraded to the nicer double with a balcony overlooking the plaza and a slightly bigger room. Apparently the mattresses are nicer as well compared to the 60 sole room (this one costs 75 soles). Since this was a vacation, we decided to splurge a little.
Overall great location, nice rooms, nice people. They have a tour agency, but we found the prices to be slightly more expensive elsewhere
