Its origins date back to pre-Hispanic times, when it was an important population center for the Shachapuyos, a human group that heroically resisted the conquest of the Incas.

Despite its historical significance, this culture that developed in the jungle of northern Peru is, in many respects, an unknown, an unsolved question for researchers.





Levanto, a district that mixes the pre-Hispanic remains of Yálape (a center populated with rhombus-shaped and zigzag friezes), the circular building of Colla Cruz (of Shachapuyo-Inca construction), surrounded by beautiful landscapes, which only the whim of nature can create.Located 22 kilometers from Chachapoyas.
