    Explore the ancient funerary site of the Sarcophagi of Carajía and the Quiocta Caverns on a full-day guided tour from Chachapoyas. Your day begins with hotel pick-up and a scenic drive northeast toward Lamud, passing through traditional villages like Cochechan and Cruz Pata. From there, enjoy a 30-minute hike to reach the impressive Carajía sarcophagi—anthropomorphic pre-Inca funerary figures over 2 meters tall, built on limestone cliffs and remarkably preserved. After the visit, continue to Lamud for a local lunch. In the afternoon, head to the Quiocta Caverns and explore natural tunnels filled with stunning stalactites and stalagmites formed over thousands of years.
