Chanchamayo Valley Tour

Venture into the Chanchamayo Valley on this excursion from Tarma. Imposing waterfalls, the village of La Merced, and a visit to an Ashaninka community await.

Description

We'll meet at the Plaza de Armas de Tarma at the indicated time to begin a journey into the nature of the Chanchamayo Valley.

First, we'll cross the small towns of Acobamba and Palca. The landscape changes as we travel through the Chanchamayo Valley, a gateway to the Peruvian Amazon.

Upon arrival, we'll embark on a hike through the jungle to visit attractions such as the El Cabello del Angel waterfalls and the Ducha del Diablo (Devil's Shower). We'll cross the Túnel de la Virgen and reach San Ramón, located between the Tarma and Tulumayo rivers.

Next, we'll stop at El Tirol waterfall for photographs and exploration of the wild flora and fauna. From there, we'll head to La Merced, a key town in the Chanchamayo Valley.

Enjoy the panoramic view of the Indio Dormido (Sleeping Indian) and cross the Reither Bridge into the city. You'll have an hour of free time to refuel in a restaurant in La Merced. Afterward, we'll visit an Asháninka native community to learn about the customs of this Amazonian tribe.

Finally, we'll see a coffee processor to understand this valuable product before concluding the tour at the starting point in Tarma after a 10-hour tour.
