What to do and see in Tarapoto, San Martin Region: The Best Things to do
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.

This was quite possibly the best travel experience I have had and that is saying something. The remote location and beauty of Tambo is beyond compare and that almost pales in comparison to the beauty of Johanne and her hospitality and kindness. I had been trained in Reiki online through the Covid crisis but came to Tambo to learn hands on from Johanne and honestly it took forever to write this review because trying to put words to this experience has been a challenge. I was called to this place. If you are open in your mind, soul, and heart, Tambo is the place that will change your life and Johanne is the spirit that will guide yours. And as if her knowledge of Reiki, Yoga, and Spiritual openness was not enough, you will not believe the quality of the food. I had no idea I could be so full and enjoy vegan food on this level. I had tried plant based diets and failed but with her recipes I am well on my way to a much cleaner system and life. Last but not least I have to mention the little touches. You won't be able to miss them - mandalas and coloring supplies, incense in your room, wake up beverage, all the little things add up to one giant heart. You will not regret this experience.

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!

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.

Mystical, beautiful, adventurous, a learning place about bio diversity and the magic of nature. Easy to reach, a 2 hours tour will learn you all about cacao and chocolate, butterflies, healing plants and bio diversity. If you want to get energized and inspired take the boat to this wonderful location in the sauce lagoon.
