People and birds
Three pages on what has been found in the caves.
Caves and rock shelters in the Andes hold the earliest evidence of people in Peru. Much later, the Chachapoya used cliffs and caves as cemeteries.
The caves of the eastern slopes are also home to the oilbird, one of the few birds that can find its way in the dark by sound.
