Founded in 1782 on the high jungle plateau of northern Peru, Tarapoto sits along the Shilcayo and Cumbaza rivers with the Cordillera Escalera conservation area to the north and a fertile agricultural valley to the south. Known as the City of Palms, it serves as the main commercial and tourism hub of the San Martín region, with a strong café and restaurant scene, waterfalls and lagoons within reach, and access to adventure activities including river rafting, kayaking, and birdwatching in the surrounding cloud forest.
