The
fortress of Kuelap
The monumental
ruins of Kuelap are situated at 3000 metres above sea level. The
ruins of Kuelap are located at the summit of a hill that rises on
the left bank of the Utcubamba. Access to Kuelap is gained via El
Tingo, a town at approximately 1800m above sea level, near the
bank of the Utcubamba. A horse trail also winds along the left
bank of Tingo river and leads eventually up to Marcapampa, a
small level upland near the site.
