Kuélap: would you have recognised it under the tiles?

This photo was Unvil’s mystery photo of the day. It was fully hidden under a mosaic of tiles: every close word knocked some down until the answer, “Kuélap”， was found.

Kuélap in a few words

Citadel of the Chachapoya people, built from around the 6th century at 3,000 m above sea level in northern Peru. Its walls, almost 20 m high in places, enclose the foundations of more than 400 round houses. It is sometimes nicknamed the “Machu Picchu of the North”.

The hints

• This site is in South America.
• Its inhabitants lived in hundreds of round houses.
• It was built by the “Warriors of the Clouds”, long before the Incas arrived.
• This fortress overlooks the Utcubamba valley, near Chachapoyas, in northern Peru.
