Upon arrival, a gentle introduction to Chachapoyas begins with sweeping views over Sonche Canyon, revealing the region’s dramatic geography. The journey continues to Huancas, a longstanding ceramic village where local artisan Consuelo Detquizan shares her craft and heritage. By afternoon, arrival at Gocta Natura Reserve invites a moment of rest within its forested surroundings. As the day softens, a visit to a nearby refuge offers the chance to observe the elusive spatula-tail hummingbird, found only in this corner of northern Peru.

Please allow approximately seven hours for the entire experience.
