La Merced + El Tirol Waterfall Tour

At 9 am, we'll pick you up at your hotel to start the 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, notably the Franciscan monk Fray Juan Jerónimo Jiménez, who crossed the Huancabamba valley in 1635.

We will tour the city, passing by the square of La Merced, the first built in this central jungle area, and see the church Matriz de La Merced, a colonial-style building.

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

Following this, we will head to the Tirol waterfall. Here, we will take a 35-minute hiking route through the rainforest, with a stop at the viewpoint of La Cruz to enjoy a view of the Chanchamayo River.

Afterwards, we will return to La Merced and drop you off at your hotel following a five-hour tour.
