Chachapoyas from a different perspective: The Canyons Route

We depart from Chachapoyas at 9:30 a.m. and head to the community of Huancas, where we’ll purchase admission tickets for the Sonche and Huanca Urco canyons.

Our first stop will be Sonche Canyon, located at approximately 2,600 meters above sea level. From La Goya Viewpoint, we’ll admire its depth of nearly one kilometer and its 12-kilometer length, while observing the area’s native flora and fauna.

We’ll then continue to Huanca Urco, where we’ll see its geological formations, the mausoleums associated with the so-called “villages of the dead,” a section of Gocta Waterfall’s first drop, and the biodiversity of the surrounding landscape.

Finally, we’ll return toward Chachapoyas to visit Luya Urco Viewpoint, where we’ll have time to take photographs and learn about the surrounding landscape before returning to the city at approximately 12:30 p.m. This outing can also be arranged in the afternoon, subject to availability.
