Frente a los 771 metros de Gocta. El rocío de la segunda caída siempre nos recuerda por qué amamos este valle. Salida con viajeros que se animaron al trekking completo desde Cocachimba.

Caminar bajo los muros de 20 metros de Kuélap en la niebla matutina. La ingeniería de los Chachapoyas sigue desafiando el tiempo y las nubes. Salida guiada explicando arquitectura circular.

Día 2 de expedición hacia la Laguna de los Cóndores. Selva de neblina virgen, barro en las botas y la recompensa de los mausoleos intactos sobre el acantilado.

Entre helechos gigantes y orquídeas silvestres hacia la caída de Yumbilla (895m). Un rincón de paz absoluta donde casi nunca encontramos aglomeraciones.

La caída de casi 1,000 metros del Cañón del Sonche. Un espectáculo geológico que visitamos respetando las tradiciones alfareras de la comunidad de Huancas.

Catarata Gocta & San Pablo

"We did the Gocta trek with them and the experience was a 10/10. Field coordination and trail support were flawless. Yelsin knows every stretch of the cloud forest and gave us great tips on footwear and layers. Plus, the direct support to local muleteer communities is evident."

Paquete Chachapoyas 4 Días

"We booked a 4-day private tour with Yelsin and Exploor Chachapoyas. Outstanding bilingual guiding and deep passion for the region! From booking permits in advance to the local lunches, everything felt authentic, transparent and thoroughly cared for. If you visit northern Peru, this is the best guide you can choose."

Catarata Yumbilla

"Yumbilla exceeded all our expectations. We were only 6 people on the tour and the attention was very personalized. They explained the flora, orchid species, and intermediate cascades. Definitely the best agency for honest, unhurried travel in Chachapoyas."
