The Royal Valley of the Chachapoyas, the kingdom of 1000 years, known as the "Warriors of the Clouds", is distinguished by its rugged geography with places of historical and archaeological sites located in the heights, between 2800m and 3100m at 1000m of altitude from the deep valley; so every route involve challenge and exciting climbs and downhills by different terrains as dirt roads and shepherds singletracks. Here we will be in contact with its 2 jewels: the Kuelap Fortress a huge stones building that kept and protected near 500 rounded houses well known as the most important archaeological site, and the Gocta Waterfall, one of the tallest in the world, number 3 of its kind with 771m in 2 vertical jumps, and surrounded by an amazing ecosystem
