Cave or Rock Shelter in Amazonas State, Peru.
This cave was used for ceremonial burials of the Chachapoyas culture. Human remains were been found in 2006. Pictographs decorated the walls near the mummies.
The cave is near the beautiful Gocta Waterfall. The location given for this site entry is approximate. One of the major sites of Chachapoyas culture is Kuelap.
