NATURE
From the impressive 771m Gocta waterfall to birding opportunities galore and numerous
new nature lodges, the Northern Highlands holds its own when it comes to getting out and
about into some of Peru's most impressive landscapes.
RUINS
Second only to Machu Picchu in awe, the excellently preserved ruins of Kuélap, tucked
away in misty-eyed cloud forest near Chachapoyas, is reason alone to venture into this
neck of the woods.
FOOD
Peru's coastal cuisine is more famous, but the jungle-influenced recipes of Tarapoto and
Chachapoyas will raise the hairs on your taste buds as well. Wash it all down with region-
al elixirs soaked in wild roots and vines and toast to La Selva.
