מסלול עד שבוע באמזונס ”Laguna de los Condores“

המלצה על טראק בן שלושה ימים ללגונת הקונדורים

Laguna de los Condores near Leymebamba is a beautiful lake with black colour (the water is good, it just looks black because of the vegetation) surrounded by cloud forest. On the cliffs on one side of the lake there are chullpas - tombs where there used to be mummies. The 200 mummies that were found there are now in the museum in Leymebamba which is very recommended.

 How to get there:

It`s a 3 day trek - 1 day to get there (8 hours), one day to the tombs (3 hours each way), and one day back. You can walk or ride a horse. The trek leaves from Leymebamba where you can buy food and rent horses and a guide. Leymebamba is 3-4 hours by combi from Chachapoyas.

There is a refugio near the lake, you have to bring a sleeping bag, or at least sheets and they can give you blankets in the refugio. There is a place to cook on fire, they give the wood, so you don`t have to bring a stove.

Prices:

Horse - 20 soles per day, guide - 25 soles per day, refugio - 8 soles per person per night (you have to pay for the guide too), entrance - 10 soles (you have to pay this in the INC office in the plaza of Leymebamba before you go). You have to organize everything from Hotel Laguna de los Condores half a block from the plaza of Leymebamba, they are the owners of the land around the lake. (You don`t have to sleep there, it`s a nice hotel but there are at least 2 others in Leymebamba).
