Another night bus later, and we were in Chachapoyas (which wins Chris' award for favourite place to say). Katrina was somewhat grumpy, having played 'bum wars' all night with the Peruvian attempting to sleep next to her (and steal her rightful snuggle space). With military precision, we booked a tour, bought tickets for the NEXT night bus (please note this is three in a row, some sort of world record, i'm sure) and got breakfast.
The tour took us to Kuelap, the second most impressive pre-Columbian site in Peru, at least according to Lonely Planet (it's pretty damn impressive). It's a giant stone fortress, built painstakingly on a mountain over 800 years, with houses and walls and views and steep, defensible drops. And llamas shagging. Looky looky!
(not at the shagging llamas you dirty people)

(we also saw some Chachapoyas terraces)
(the sacred walls)
real human bones... If you die making the wall, you become the wall...
(knew you wanted to see them)
