Revash

The Revash archaeological complex contains stone mausoleums constructed along limestone cliffs, painted in red and white patterns with geometric designs and animal figures.

The Chachapoyas civilization built these elaborate funeral structures during the 14th century, creating multiple chambers to hold the mummified remains of their social elite.

The mausoleums demonstrate advanced architectural knowledge through their house-like facades, incorporating stone construction methods with decorative elements that reflect Chachapoyas traditions.

Visitors reach the site through a 4-kilometer uphill trek from the valley floor, with options to start at the main trailhead or take stone stairs from San Bartolo.

The site contains 13 separate mausoleum structures that form the appearance of a miniature village suspended along the natural rock face at 2,800 meters elevation.
