About Jagged Horizon
Jagged Horizon perfectly describes an area to the east of Chachapoyas that Nick Fletcher and Rob Dover first hiked in 1997. It is an area of intense beauty and solitude – a harsh wilderness on the edge of the north eastern Andes. The rocky mountains reach up to 4000m, and between are lakes and bogs. Warm air rushes up from the Amazon plain just to the east and clouds quickly form changing the weather in minutes. That is why we love these mountains, and over various trips we have discovered more reasons to return.
