Do you have any more info on this subject? I had a Colombian employee once tell me that they are still there in the high mountains of Colombia.
I spelled it wrong. It should be "Chachapoya". Do an Alta Vista search on it and there will be a lot of sites pop up. They were fair-shinned and tall. Here's a German site mentioning some were blond. Use your AV translate in your "Tools" menu. A while back, I surfed into an account of a hiking party hiking in Chachapoya country that ran into towns full of blond natives but I can't find it now.
