La Merced + El Tirol Waterfall Tour

At 9 am, we'll pick you up at your hotel to begin a tour of La Merced and learn about the history of the provincial capital of Chanchamayo.

This area was inhabited by three different cultures before the arrival of Christian missionaries. The Franciscan monk Fray Juan Jerónimo Jiménez first crossed the Huancabamba valley in 1635.

First, we will tour the city, passing by the square of La Merced, the first one built in this region. Here we will see the church Matriz de La Merced, a colonial-style building with reddish pilasters.

We will continue to the Gallito de las Rocas Zoo, where we can observe the different species of plants, birds and native animals.

Next, we will visit the Tirol waterfall, involving a 35-minute hike through the Amazon rainforest. We'll stop at the viewpoint of La Cruz to appreciate the view of the Chanchamayo River.

After the visit, we'll return to La Merced and drop you off at your hotel after a five-hour tour.
