Huancachaca

On the eastern slopes of the Andes, Huancachaca lies near the cloud forests above the Utcubamba valley. The Yumbilla waterfall descends in four great stages through the forest near Cuispes; farther south, Gocta falls from another steep mountainside. Across the valley at Karajía, Chachapoya people placed tall human-shaped sarcophagi on a cliff ledge, high above the settlements and fields below.
