TRAVEL TO TARAPOTO

TARAPOTO

Tarapoto, founded September 14, 1906. The department of San Martin has Tarapoto as its tourist and trade center. Tarapoto lies between the valleys of the Cumbaza and Shilcayo rivers and is the converging point for all land and air systems in the three regions, sierra, coast and jungle, in this part of Peru. Ideal for entertainment and adventure, the department of San Martin is one of the best places in Peru for both natural and archeological tourist attractions. With the city of Tarapoto as your operating center, you will be able to visit Moyobamba, Rioja, Lamas and even the pre-Inca citadel of Kuelap in the neighboring department of Amazonas.

Whoever first call this area land of the waterfalls was not mistaken since among its many attractions are some of the most beautiful and powerful waterfalls in the country. It would be unthinkable to travel these routes without carrying a camera or to do so listlessly. In either case, if your heart is indifferent, then a side trip to Laguna Azul (blue), with its fascinating and still crystalline waters, to the impressive Gran Pajaten, an archaeological complex, to the town of Lamas or to the city of Moyobamba, capital of the department of San Martin and home to 2,500 varieties of orchids, will end up lifting you out of the doldrums and make you feel that you can finally stop your endless searching. Rather it will become a well deserved respite for your senses and the restlessness of your soul.

Tarapoto night life will satisfy everyone, as you will have an enjoyable time in the discos and pubs to the rhythm of rock, salsa, Colombian vallenatos and Brazilian Sambas. Travel to Tarapoto.
