Chachapoyas Hotels - Reviews and Rates

Hola amigos!

I had decided whilst in Chiclayo that I wanted to visit both Cajamarca and the capital of the Amazonas region - Chachapoyas. Although when looking at a map this seems straightforward, in reality it is anything but. First, I had to catch a bus to the nothing town of Celendin in the middle of nowhere. This was easy enough and I...

We arrived at Chachapoyas at four in the morning. We climbed off of the bus and it was still pitch black out and everything was still closed. Man, what we would have done for a 24 hour McDonalds right then and there! But there wasn’t one and we wandered down to the Plaza de Armas in search of an open restaurant. We didn’t find a...

Chachapoyas. Known locally as 'Chacha' (this makes me smile), its a small town in the mountains of northern Peru. Its simply surrounded by antiquity - there are dozens of pre-Inca sites, many of which have yet to really be uncovered. The mountains around Chacha are genuinely littered with ruins that are completely overgrown. You can walk around...

I arrived in Chachapoyas right at the start of a week of cultural festivities. The first day, there were dancers in traditional indigenous outfits along with a marching band making there way around the Plaza de Armas. I watched from an upstairs balcony at my hostal where I had a great view of the plaza. After the first day however, the atmospher...

Nous prenons des le matin un combi pour Chachapoyas (2335 m). Nous arrivons en pleine fete du village, repetition d'un festival proche. Nous posons nos affaire a l'Hospedaje Continental et nous renseignons sur Kuelap. Nous decidons d'y aller avec le bus qui part a 3h30 du matin. Au diner, je goute un Cecino de res, viande de boeuf fumee et salee...

A bit hungover. Had a very long journey from Vilcabamba to Chachapoyas (24 hours!) Just for the record, and because I found other people's entries on this site useful when planning my route down, here is how we did it: Met Vincent, a French guy, at 6ish at the bus stop. The bus was meant to arrive from Loja at 6.30 but was 2 hours late due to a ...

La enore, une region peu visitee du nord du Perou..... Principalement parceque les infrastructures manquent et les centres d'interet touristiques sont loin de la seule ville du coin (Chachapoyas)... Mais qu'importe, il est bon de parfois sortir des sentiers battus, surtout pour voir ces 2 sites impressionants que sont les ruines de Kuelap et le ...

Hoy hacemos la excursion mas importante de todo el viaje: la fortaleza de Kuelap. La ventaja del Hostal Marvelous Spatuletail donde nos quedamos es que el viaje a Kuelap es de solo 20 minutos, lo que permite hacerlo con calma y regresar a almorzar. Si se hiciera desde Chachapoyas la ida y vuelta serian casi 5 horas. Salimos con una luz dorada y ...

13.8.08. Here we go for another backtracking session and a quick catch up on my recent activities. So back on the 30 July after another long night bus ride into the mountains from Chiclayo, I arrived in the small town of Chachapoyas. The main reason for coming to this town is to visit a pre Inca ruins at Kuelap, which was described in my trusty ...

We arived in Chachapoyas at 4am!!!!!!!!!!! The buses are always late here, we thought we would get in at 6 or 7 but 4 was nasty! We found some accomodation, as usual here the budget room which we look for has a bed barely big enough for the 2 of us - still, cant argue with the price! We got up mid morning and spent the day over in Huancas (funny...
