Santa Elena & Caves of Palestine Day Trip

We will pick you up from your hotel in Tarapoto early in the morning and board a minibus for the journey to the Santa Elena Reserve.

After a 2-hour 30-minute drive, we will arrive in the town of Rioja for a typical breakfast with an infusion or coffee.

Next, we will proceed to the Alto Mayo wetlands, where canoes will be ready for a 2-hour rowing experience down the Romero River. During the trip, you will observe local wildlife, including monkeys, sloths, otters, and reptiles.

After the canoe ride, we will head to Nueva Cajamarca to visit the Caves of Palestine. We will explore the underground paths of the caves, observing unique formations while our guide shares information about the site.

After the cave visit, we will enjoy a meal at a local restaurant, including a main course and a drink.

We will then return to your hotel in Tarapoto, concluding our day trip after approximately 12 hours.
