Macro Archaeological Site
Sitio arqueológico de Macro
A group of round Chachapoya structures on cliffs beside the Utcubamba valley road. It is a convenient stop on the way to Kuélap.
The Macro Ruins lie on cliffs beside the Utcubamba valley road. They are a residential and ceremonial site of the Chachapoya culture, with several round stone houses remaining, some built on stone terraces on steep slopes. From the roadside it takes about 20 minutes to walk up, and you get views over the valley. Many day tours to Kuélap make a brief stop here.
