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. This town was founded by Austrian and German immigrants in the 19th century. Their descendants now live in this town where European and Andean cultures come together, leading to families with surnames like Mayer or Müller.

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

After this visit, our trip will continue in the Oxapampa valley with a stop at the Huarapo estate. Here, we will learn about the process of making sugar cane brandy and have the opportunity to taste this typical drink. We will also visit a trout farm and a dairy plant, providing insight into the livelihoods of the farmers in the region.

You will have free time for lunch, and shortly after, we will continue to the Yanachaga National Park, located in the Amazon rainforest. This protected area offers a great opportunity to experience the jungle life of central Peru.

After a full day of exploring the Oxapampa region, we will conclude the trip and return to La Merced, arriving at your hotel around 5 pm.
