In 1535, the first English arrived in the territory of the Chachapoyas, a huge area between the Huallaga and Maranon rivers, located between 2,000 and 3,000 meters. high and permanently covered by clouds. From the ninth century, the area was populated by a large culture, until it was invaded by the Incas in the fifteenth century, and incorporated into the Inca Empire during times of Tupac Inca Yupanqui.
Chachapoyas or Sachapcollas The people (residents of forested areas) was composed of various ethnic kin, who traveled through the territory that extends from north to south (about 300 km.) From the Marañón in the Bagua area and south to the basin Abiseo.
Some theories claim that the descendants of immigrants Chachapoyas culturally Andean Cordillera, which changed its ancient culture in the new environment, taking some traditions of the people of Amazonian origin. Transformed the forest landscape at barren as they were despoiling the forests, and as a result of annual burning to which submitted their land.

Policy and Social Organization Chachapoyas
The unit of social organization consisted of large estates controlled each by a powerful chief and totally independent. Small kingdoms were mainly settled along the river Utcubamba. All had the same language, same customs and ways of growing and very occasionally got together for some religious ceremonies or to an attack by an enemy town, while maintaining its autonomy. According
chronicles told by Pedro Cieza de Leon, the Chachapoyas were the white and graceful of all the inhabitants of Peru. They wore clothes of wool and were in their heads about "llaüt" as a sign of their origin. After its annexation to the Inca adopted the customs imposed by the Incas.
social organization was based on domestic production in the subsistence agricultural storage facilities. Within the Chachapoyas region, developed the exchange of food (such as salt) and services based on social relations where people come together in a network.

Architecture and Ceramics Chachapoyas
central area of \u200b\u200bthe development of the Chachapoyas culture was the basin Utcubamba. There we find the architectural de Olano, Yalape, Purunllacta or "Monte Peruvia" Congon (renamed Great Vilaya), Vira Vira, Pajatén and others. But Cuélap is undoubtedly the greatest monument of nearly 600 meters long walls that reach 20 meters high.
The residential buildings and monuments are circular with high bases, ledges of boulders and flat stones protruding above the surface of the bases. They have ramps or stairs, directed toward the entrance.
The Chachapoyas developed a symbolic language common geometric patterns as triangles, diamonds, serpentine and square ornaments, displayed on the friezes of circular stone dwellings. These symbols were ethnic and social value, and served to demonstrate the strength of local identity, maintained through the Inca period.
funerary architecture also characterizes the Chachapoyas culture, and includes two types of graves: the sarcophagus and mausoleum. The sarcophagus is an evolution of the bundle that is expressed in Andean and coastal areas of Tiahuanaco-Huari times.
