Insider tip — Celendín Province in Cajamarca is in the cloud forest of northern Peru's eastern Andes — the region of the legendary Chachapoyas culture, builders of the mountaintop fortress-city Kuelap (600 AD, more ancient and vast than Machu Picchu). These thermal springs of Llanguat emerge in high Andean valleys used by indigenous communities for healing for centuries; the surrounding cloud forest shelters spectacled bears (the only South American bear), mountain tapirs, and dozens of endemic orchid species found nowhere else on Earth.
