Chachapoyas is one of the main touristic centers of the North of Peru. It is centraly located, being on the Northern Pacific to Amazon Crossing, and also on the road between Cajamarca and Iquitos. The province has a strong attraction of its own, offering some spectacular destinations. The two biggest of those are the pre-inca ruins of Kuelap and the recently discovered Gocta Falls, that are the 3th largest in the world.  

There are a lot more ruins and spectacular landscapes worth visiting, independently or with one of the plenty tour operators active in the beautiful and tranquil colonial city of Chachapoyas.

If you like trekking and don't mind bad roads, you could easily lose a week or two in these parts.
