Burial Chamber in Amazonas Department, Peru.Burial chambers set in a cliffside wall of a canyon above the Utcubamba River. Although the burials inside the chambers have been destroyed by looters and rodents, the buildings themselves have been protected. They are made from small stones and a mud mortar, plastered with the same mud and painted white and red. The cliff overhang has protected them for over 600 years.
The structures resemble a village of cottages set into the cliff. The Revash tombs can be viewed from the valley floor and guided tours are offered from nearby villages and as part of multi-site tours of the Chachapoyas area.
