Pat and our guide - Alicia - are walking on the path to Kuelap at about 10,000 ft. You can see the potato and corn fields in the back all above 8500 ft. Kuelap is the fortress-religious center of the Chachapoyas indians. Established about 500 BC with continuous living and occupation and even though the Incas conquered the area just about the time the Spaniards came, those that live here now are the descendents of the Chachapoyan culture.
