10 Budget-friendly Things to do in Tarapoto That You Shouldn't Miss

January 16, 2022 Misti Hsu

Tarapoto is a commercial hub town in the San Martín Province of the San Martín Region or northern Peru. It is an hour by plane from Lima, in the high jungle plateau to the east of what is known as the selva baja (low jungle). Although Moyobamba is the capital of the region, Tarapoto is the region's largest city and is linked to the Upper Amazon and the historic city of Yurimaguas by a relatively well-maintained transandean highway, paved in 2008-9.

Laguna Sauce

Reviewed By trentvano - Ilha de Boipeba, Brazil

Nice lake, take the bus out there, get yourself a little spot to stay, walk around in and out of the town (pretty road surrounded by pretty hills), get yourself some street food or something from the local restaurants, swim around, do the mud bath deal, maybe ride around in one of the tour boats, stuff like that. The local people seemed friendly and peaceful. Great spot to spend a few days!

Las Cataratas de Ahuashiyacu

Reviewed By O2034RNkellym

We enjoyed the day trip here. Ice cold water, but your body adjusts quickly. Great short hike and scenery. The hike is short, but still a little strenuous. ???????? so many varieties of butterflies. Little lizards are hidden in the leaves if you look hard for them. Beautiful day and great amenities too. Changing rooms at the top by waterfall. A+. Bonus perk, our tour bus pulled over to take pictures at the sign for the falls and we saw several varieties of monkeys ????❤️

If you are looking for a zoo, wrong place. This is a center where rescued animals heal and then are released. The entry is s/.10 = $3 approx. And your visit is guided. Awesome place! Thanks you very much, Urku team members, for your hard work and time. A 'must do' place to visit.
