Chachapoyas

We took a little trip to Chachapoyas, and from there we set out on a couple of little excursions, first to Kuelap, an ancient city that predates Columbus, and then Gocta, a 770 meter tall waterfall.

I met a donkey on the way up the mountain to Kuelap.

On the hike up to Kuelap, Oscar couldn't get enough air because he is a sea level baby. As for us kids from Utah's mountains, we did just fine.

Jumping on top of the fortress wall: The locals got a kick out of this.

We had to jump a lot to get good pictures of us jumping.

In this picture I had just forgotten to pay her for my anticucho (little meat kebab), and I'm confused.

We're very happy.

I'm rubbing my chest because I can't feel my body. The water was very very cold.

We we're very happy.
