Top 5 Waterfalls in Tarapoto, San Martin Region
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.

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 ????❤️

You get to discover the real Amazonian jungle, at just 30 min from Tarapoto. From the little village of San Roque you start your trekking to the beautifull waterfall, accompanied by a guide (30 PEN). On the way you stop at the mirador, to see the wonders of the jungle. After the trekking of 4 hours, you get to rest at the 100m high catarata de Toroyacu before heading back for another 4 hours hike.
