La Merced + El Tirol Waterfall Tour
At 9 am, pick-up from your hotel marks the start of the tour of La Merced, where you'll explore the province of Chanchamayo.
This region was originally home to three different cultures before Christian missionaries arrived, specifically the Franciscan monk Fray Juan Jerónimo Jiménez, who entered the Huancabamba valley in 1635.
The tour begins with a visit to the square of La Merced, the first established square in the central jungle of Peru, including a view of the church Matriz de La Merced, a colonial-style structure with reddish pilasters.
Next, we will visit the Gallito de las Rocas Zoo to see various< strong> native plants, birds, and animals.
The tour continues to the Tirol waterfall, where we'll embark on a 35-minute hike through the rainforest, making a stop at the viewpoint of La Cruz to take in the view of the Chanchamayo River.
After the tour, you will be returned to your hotel, concluding this five-hour experience.
