Chachapoyas, kuelap and Gocta waterfall

Wow. What a place!!! Well not so much the small town of Chachapoyas, but the surrounding area. It is so rich in history and mystery. While i was there i went to visit the ruins of kuelap. It was built by the Chachapoyan people from 400AD on. So this predates the incas. It is built at the top of a 3000m high mountain. They had to carry each piece of stone 10km, and it took 1 week for each block. For this reason they compare the building of Kuelap only to the pyramids of Egypt. Truelly amazing!!!!
There were several Chachapoyan tribes, and they were always waring with eachother. But they would join forces to hold out the Incans. They were the most brutal and efficient warriors of perus history. But they were to meet their doom. They cohersed with the spanish and many people died due to disease. And then finally they were starved of water by the Incans and finally taken over in 1400AD. This was evidenced by the fact that some of the later ruins were of Incan design.
I also visited Gocta waterfall. It is meant to be the 3rd highest waterfall in the world. It has 2 tiers, but falls a total of 771m. It was a hard 2 hour walk, but well worth it. Amazing waterfall. It reminded me of jurassic park. Haha. I only wish that there was more water. Its the dry season here at the moment.
