How to get in Chachapoyas
There are 3 entry cities if you want to fly most of the way, Tarapoto and Chiclayo have equal road trips from those airports of 8 hours, and Cajamarca's airport is more like 12 hours away. These flying options are about 4 times as expensive as road from Lima. Movil Tours has direct buses Lima/Chachapoyas that pass through & leave Chiclayo. Civa has daily bed busses from Lima taking about 22 hours with movies and meals furnished on board like Movil Tours. Cost is about $45 one way from Lima. Also Zelada offers daily service at a bit of a discount, and Paredes Estrella has a bed bus, but you must get off at Pedro Ruis and take a combi leaving about every hour for a 2 hour trip for about $2.00. Most of the bus stations are in La Victoria a walk apart, but to get downstairs for a "full bed" you may need to buy your ticket in the day on the double deck bus to reserve. These leave in the evening, so with a sleeping pill, the long trip isn't bad at all. Take a throw or blanket for the night. Now there are nightly service from Trujillo (4pm) and Chiclayo (7pm and 8pm) & arrive in Chachapoyas around 5am. CIVA three times a week from Lima and nightly from Chiclayo. Transervis Kuelap and Transportes Zelada both have nightly buses from Chiclayo.
A more arudous route takes 2 days from Vilcabamba & Zumba in Ecuador crosses the frontier at Balsas & goes via San Ignacio to Chachapoyas.
You can also arrive from Tarapoto to the east. Getting down from the buses in Pedro Ruiz and catching local transport for the final leg up to Chachapoyas.
Movil Tours also runs a three times a week service from Cajamarca. This is a spectacular road to travel and in a big bus definitely not for the faint hearted.
