About this app

Dive into the pre-Inca culture of the Chachapoya with Chacha XR, an immersive experience that transports you to eight of the most fascinating and mysterious archaeological sites of this ancient civilization in the Peruvian Andes.

The Chachapoya, known as "the warriors of the clouds," inhabited the Peruvian Andes region between the 8th and 15th centuries AD. This civilization built impressive stone citadels, mausoleums, and anthropomorphic sarcophagi called "purumachos" and funeral chambers in the middle of cliffs, in the archaeological sites of Kuélap, Karajía, Laguna de los Cóndores, Revash, Tingorbamba, Diablo Wasi, and La Petaca, which you can now explore in detail with Chacha XR.

Discover hanging tombs in inaccessible cliffs, fly over cloud forests where the mist blends with the vegetation as if you were a condor, or explore the impressive funerary architecture of the Chachapoya on rocky walls, rappelling down a rope into the abyss as if you were a spelunker. Moreover, Chacha XR allows you to see what Kuélap looked like before the collapse of part of the wall, a site closed to visitors but accessible through a virtual tour with our app.

With Chacha XR, you can experience the Chachapoya culture in a unique and immersive way through an extended reality (XR) experience. The narrative integration of new audiovisual formats, such as 360º aerial videos, 360º panoramas, and 3D digital replicas, lets you explore the archaeological sites as if you were there yourself. Plus, with gigapixel images, you can get an overview of the entire funerary complex and zoom in to appreciate every detail.

This is a scientific dissemination APP that provides rigorous information contributed by the archaeologists and researchers of the sites displayed.
