AN ADVENTURE IN CHACHAPOYAS

In 2017 my friends and I traveled to Chachapoyas, it was a cozy

place, there was a lot of vegetation there. In Chachapoyas there were
many animals, such as parrots, monkeys, cock of the rocks, etc.

We visited two tourist attractions, the

Kuelap Fortress and the "Gocta" waterfall.
The Kuelap Fortress was beautiful and its history
was incredible. It is located in the annex of the
same name, El Tingo district, Luya province,
Amazonas department. Above 3000 meters above
sea level, in an area where the Andes Mountain
Range ends and the edge of the jungle begins.

The Gocta Waterfall or La Chorrera, the name by which the

locals refer to this waterfall. This is is huge, majestic and
imposing.

Gocta was discovered in 2002 by the

German Stefan Ziemendorff.
Also, the Gocta waterfall is accompanied by a local legend
about a blonde haired mermaid luring men into the fall pool
and then leading them to the bottom of the pool.
I loved Cachapoyas for its beautiful landscapes.
