PeruNorth originally put together a Northern Peru itinerary for Ty Agens & Gloria Quinn - a California couple now residing in Oaxaca, Mexico - that was scheduled to depart in May 2020.

The Pandemic meant that this trip was postponed for SIX years, but they finally got to visit in May 2026, flying from Lima to Chachapoyas and then making their way overland back to Lima for two weeks, via Leymebamba, Cajamarca and Trujillo, stopping at various archaeological and natural highlights along the way.

Here is what they say about the experience:

In November, 2023, PeruNorth received the following enquiry from Thomas, in Portland, Maine: “I have been interested in the Moche/Chimu ever since reading an article in The New Scientist about their engineers who were priests because they knew how to bring the water to the desert (as I remember). My wife and I are interested in finding out more about your coastal civilization itineraries and how they work.”

Do you know which is the world’s 3rd highest waterfall? And the 5th? And the 16th? Well, depending on which source you read, they are all Gocta Falls, in the Department of Amazonas.

Whatever their official ranking, it is incredible that they have only recently come to general attention.
