Third Day- La Kuelap

Hola, after an extremely long 9hr drive through the mountains, we arrived at 3am to the cold city of Chachapoyos.  We had 2hrs to sleep as we were waking up early to go on a hike to the Kuelap (an extremely old military fort used 3000 years ago).  After an extremely scenic two hour drive, we arrived at the beginning of our hike.  Little did I know I had made a large mistake not wearing sunscreen this day.  When we got to the fort it was absolutely stunning, the rocks were meticulously placed and everything had been preserved over the years.  We then climbed up the steep narrow passage way to enter inside and found ourselves in a half jungle half rock city.  There were lamas running around, and birds everywhere I turned.  We went through and our guide explained the different places used for cooking and showed us the mass grave where there are still bones to this day.  After visiting for a while we returned to the hotel where I realized I had received one of the worst sunburns ever, with my scalp being completely pink as well.  That night we went out after dinner to one of the discotecas in the city.  We had quite a few beers and danced very hard, it was a great night but everyone regretted drinking when we hiked for theree hours the next day.  Onward to Gocta.
