A Journey into Chachapoya Heritage Through Revash & Leymebamba

We will depart from Chachapoyas at 8:30 a.m. and head to the community of San Bartolo, where we will begin our visit to one of the region’s most distinctive funerary sites. From there, we will set off on a hike of approximately one hour, taking in the mountain scenery along the way to the Revash mausoleums.

Upon arrival, our guide will explain the significance of these funerary structures, their architectural features, and their connection to the region’s ancient traditions. We will have time to admire the buildings set into the mountainside and appreciate the details that make Revash such a valuable testament to the past. We will then hike back to continue our journey.

Next, we will travel to Leymebamba, where we will enjoy lunch before continuing with our afternoon cultural visit.

Our next stop will be the Leymebamba Museum, an essential place to learn about the archaeological heritage of Amazonas. The museum houses 219 well-preserved mummies and more than 2,500 artifacts, including textiles, ceramics, carved wooden objects, pyro-engraved gourds, and 33 khipus. Through these collections, we will learn more about funerary practices, everyday objects, and the cultural expressions of the ancient civilizations that inhabited this region.

After the visit, we will return to Chachapoyas, arriving at approximately 7:30 p.m. We will end the day with a deeper understanding of the ancestral heritage, traditions, and cultural memory of Amazonas.
