The Chachapoyas, also called the "Warriors of the Clouds", was a culture of the Andes living in the cloud forests of the southern part of the Department of Amazonas of present-day Peru. The Inca Empire conquered their civilization shortly before the Spanish conquest in the 16th century. At the time of the arrival of the conquistadors, the Chachapoyas were one of the many nations ruled by the Incas, although their incorporation had been difficult due to their constant resistance to Inca troops.

Gran Saposoa is the name given to a series of ruins in the Andean cloud forests of the Amazonas region of Peru by American explorer Gene Savoy. Savoy hypothesized that this site is the Pre-Columbian city of Cajamarquilla, built by the Chachapoyas culture, but Chachapoyas archaeologists observed that "Cajamarquilla" is clearly identifiable in historical documents as the renamed modern highland town of Bolívar, Peru. Savoy claims that the ruins, consisting of hundreds of round stone structures, cover approximately 120 square miles, and consist of 23,950 structures. However, Gran Saposoa is not a single site, but rather a cluster of separate archaeological sites already located and published by avocational archaeologists Keith Muscutt, 2 and anthropologist Dr. Inge Schjellerup 3 in the mid 1990s. After Savoy announced his 1999 "discovery," and the sizes and populations claimed for Gran Saposoa were exposed as grossly exaggerated by professional archaeologists specializing in Chachapoyas archaeology 4. Archaeologists observed that ruins like Gran Saposoa, and Gran Vilaya "discovered" ten years prior, were long-known to Peruvian area residents and not genuine "discoveries."
