reflections of Cuzco....
This is a top pick! ... the plaza, there are the more stereotypical tourists, but they're from all over the world, and appear to be mostly from Peru or Argentina...there are surprisingly few from the US. The food here is diverse....we've found some great restaurants...even ...
how do we get there from here???
This is a top pick! ... with all sorts of spiritual intensity, the pictures of it look pretty cool, and it's the most heavily touristed destination in Peru, which is a little daunting. But we committed to a trip up there today. Apparently, there are a few ways ...

Down the Amazon
This is a top pick! ... woke up the next moring I had a bit of a stomach ache. It wasn't terrible, but the thought crossed my mind about staying in Tarapoto for another day instead of risking traveling with it. In the end I decided to just go for it. I had another shared taxi ...
Just Like Cattle
This is a top pick! ... he wouldn't so I grabbed it. He kept his word and the final 3.5 hours of journey were the best of the day. I arrived in Tarapoto late afternoon after 11 hours of traveling, to be honest it was a pretty tough day. I had a little look around town, ...
Journey Through Time 6 - Heaven's Gate
This is a top pick! Have you ever been to a place so beautiful and magical that you have resigned taking any pictures for they would never give justice to the beauty you have encountered? Until today, this has never happened to me. On the way up to Heaven's Gate, ...
Huarez, Cordilleras Blancas
This is a top pick! ... Edgar for a truly spectacular and safe time trekking it was great but totally knackering!. We fully recommend anyone coming out to Peru to have a go, it is far less bombarded by touristville and far cheaper than the Machu Piccu options offered in Cusco ...
The Last Boat Trip
This is a top pick! ... in the skanky shower. Yurimaguas seems okay, although not much in the way of things to see so I´ll be off to Tarapoto tomorrow, getting closer to some ruins. Things I learned * The men on the Peruvian boats are very well behaved. No wolf ...
Journee paisible a Tarapoto
Tarapoto est une ville plutot agreable. Si l'on ne tient pas compte de sa pollution sonore due a un nombre incroyable de mototaxis, il ya des terrasses, des cafes et les rues sont bordees de palmiers ou autres plantes exotiques. Nous nous rendons au ...
strippers kids and psychotic drivers
... around the manual transmission gear shifter. Nice. (End Rant) So anyway, you'll see a few pics I took around Tarapoto and Yurimaguas. My next entry will be from my trek into the Amazon rainforest. I have about 300 pictures, so I ...
Sleepless in Tarapoto
... like Tarapoto at all - unfortunately I was in a crappy mood for most of the time I was there. However, the reason I'm even mentioning Tarapoto as a stop is because of one thing. Food. The local specialities never fail to impress me - and one of the local ...

Gilmer I
... about 2 O'Clock in the afternoon. We had herd the news that there was a strike by natives that had closed the highway to Tarapoto where I would spend the night. Ronal said he'd go ahead and feel out the scene and return to the boat for me when ...
Voyage a Tarapoto
... a encore empiree avec les indigenes. Les routes pour Lima sont completement bloquees, ce qui fait qu'il n'y a pa de departs pour Tarapoto (356 m) car il n'y a pas de bus presents. Seule une companie locale la dessere car son bus est deja dans la region. ...
i'm not here for THAT kind of 'trip'
A 12-hour riverboat journey along the Rio Huallaga brought me to the little village of Lagunas, the jumping off point for my excursion into the jungle. The accomodations on the boat are very basic. There are a couple cabins, but they are ...
Depart retarde

Tuk-Tuk Tarapoto
Tarapato sits at the beginning of the Peruvian oriente and aside from the flora and fauna, you can tell your in the Peruvian jungle by the lack of cars. Only three wheeled motos ply these parts. It makes for quite a noisy and chaotic street scene, but ...
Tarapoto
From the jungle, we head back to Iquitos. When I look down at my watch i realise its been almost 2 months in Peru. We decide our time here is at an end, and decide to hightail it to Ecuador. We devise a plan for the most cost effective and time generous ...
land of a thousand steps
Moyobamba was a stopover point on the way from Chachapoyas to Tarapoto. It turned out to be a pleasant town with nice views over a nearby river. A small lake is situated toward the north end of town, down a seemingly endless set of ...
Around Leymebamba
Took a few hours but we managed to flag down a mini bus to Leymebamba where the hot shower was greatly appreciated... Headed uphill (again!) to a little museum tucked away in what was the original site of Leymebamba. They don´t get so many visitors ...
Voyage a Yurimaguas
Après un pan con huevo accompagne d'un surtido, nous allons prendre un collectivo pour Yurimaguas (181 m). Nous sommes bloques par un barrage indigène a 35 km de la ville. Nous sommes pris en stop a l'arrière d'un 4x4 de la police. C'est une vraie ...
Back on the River

All Aboard the Amazonas Express
I arrived in Yurimagus at night along with the many bats and flying cockroaches that come out at that hour. I found a little dive of a hotel on the river and found a bat flying around inside the room. I pointed out this situation to the proprietor hoping ...
