Northern Peruvian Andes city at 2,335m elevation in Amazonas Region — gateway to the Kuelap fortress (a pre-Inca walled citadel built by the Chachapoya culture, 500-1500 CE) and Gocta Falls (the world's 16th-tallest waterfall). The Plaza de Armas and the small walkable colonial core anchor the city. Peru visa-free 90 days for many western passports; no formal DNV. The structural draws are pre-Inca archaeological density (Kuelap is often called "Peru's Machu Picchu of the North"), cloud-forest climate (cooler than Cusco), and dramatically thinner tourist density. The structural filter is logistics — flights via Jaén plus a 2-hour mountain road, or 22 hours by bus from Lima.
