Oxapampa & Yanachaga National Park Trip

We'll pick you up at 8 am from your hotel in La Merced and set off on a trip to the north.

Our trip will start with a visit to Oxapampa, the capital of the province of the same name. The town was founded by Austrian and German immigrants in the 19th century, blending European and Andean cultures, evident in local family surnames like Mayer or Müller.

We'll visit the districts that make up Oxapampa, the neighbourhood of Miraflores, and Llamaquizu, while observing the traditional houses of the Paseo de los Colonos. During the tour, we’ll pass by the church of Santa Rosa, notable for its Tyrolean style building.

After this visit, we will continue in the Oxapampa valley with a stop at the Huarapo estate to learn about sugar cane brandy production and taste this local drink. We will also visit a trout farm and a dairy plant to gain insights into the livelihoods of local farmers.

You'll have free time for lunch before heading to the Yanachaga National Park, located in the Amazon rainforest, providing a chance to experience the true jungle life of central Peru.

After a full day of exploration, we will return to La Merced, arriving at your hotel around 5 pm.
