In Perus northern highlands Chachapoyas is the capital of the Amazonas department. At an elevation of 2316 m Chachapoyas essentially belongs to both Perus northern Andean highlands and the tropical cloud forest of Amazonas. The hotel is within reach of some of northern Perus greatest attractions. Just 2 hours away are the magnificent pre-Inca fortress ruins of Kuelap considered to be the next Machu Picchu and the spectacular Gocta Falls at 771 m the 3rd-highest waterfall in the world.
