Lamas Day Trip

Join us on our Lamas day trip and explore the contrasts of this town, known for its Indigenous culture and medieval fortress, located a few miles from Tarapoto.

Lamas Day Trip

At the scheduled time, we will pick you up from your hotel in Tarapoto and set off to Lamas in our minibus, with a journey time of approximately 30 minutes.

Upon arrival in Lamas, we will visit the Plaza de Armas and learn about the town's history, including its conquest and its Indigenous communities, during our time at the Chanka Museum, where we will have a 30-minute tour.

Following the museum, we will head to Lamas Castle, exploring its halls and towers, which provide panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. The castle's medieval architecture offers a striking contrast to its jungle setting, and we will discuss its relatively recent construction.

Next, we will visit the Wayku community of Lamas to observe their unique windowless houses and engage in discussions about their architectural style.

Our day trip will conclude as we return to Tarapoto three hours after departure.
