Revash is an ancient archaeological site located in the Amazonas region of northern Peru. Known for its unique and mysterious cliffside tombs, Revash features a series of small, house-like structures carved into the face of a steep limestone cliff. These funerary buildings, which date back to the Chachapoya culture (900-1470 AD), are painted in red and cream colors and often adorned with symbolic motifs and geometric patterns. The site provides valuable insights into the burial practices and architectural ingenuity of the Chachapoya people, who are sometimes referred to as the "Warriors of the Clouds.
