Loreto (Spanish pronunciation: [loˈɾeto]) is Peru's northernmost region. Covering almost one-third of Peru's territory, Loreto is by far the nation's largest region; it is also one of the most sparsely populated regions due to its remote location in the Amazon Rainforest. Its capital is Iquitos.

Petroglifo de Cumpanama

Cumpanama and the Petroglyphs of Balsapuerto Among the petroglyphs of particular importance is the "sacred stone" of Shawi. Of enormous size, according to the local populations that would be recorded in its entirety by the same Cumpana, the creator God. Publishing is a journey of discovery of unknown codes, for which grammar can not be said to be truly integral. Still, retrieving and searching for understanding the many inscriptions carved into boulders by different sizes can be a way to find new paths for our future by looking at the past and embracing knowledge and intercultural.

Plaza de Armas de Iquitos

Reviewed By Iamkay - Medellin, Colombia

During the day, there aren't many people on the plaza. However, at night, families come out and there are local vendors selling everything from food to small toys for children. We saw musicians and families enjoying the fresh evening air. There are tons of toursit police, so you always feel safe. Strolling the plaza is a perfect evening activity as it's close to the boardwalk for a nice romantic view of the sunset over the river!
