Town Of Lamas Tour

We will collect you from your hotel in Tarapoto to embark on a journey to Lamas, located just 12 miles away by road. This charming destination sits between 310 and 920 meters above sea level, earning it the nickname of the City with Three Natural Floors. It is also surrounded by the stunning Cordillera Azul National Park.

Upon your arrival, enjoy a tour around the Plaza Mayor of Lamas, where you can admire various statues that depict the local customs and lifestyle. The City Hall and the main Church grace this quaint yet delightful square.

Consider visiting the Museo Chanka y de la Diversidad Lamista (optional) en route to Castillo de Lamas. This museum provides insights into the culture, history, myths, and tales of Lamas.

Discover the medieval Castillo de Lamas, owned by Italian businessman Nicola Felice, who fell in love with the city and constructed this castle as his residence in 2005. Over the years, he chose to open it to the local community and visitors.

The Castle of Lamas stands on a hill, offering breathtaking views of the Peruvian Amazon. Inside, you will embark on a walking tour to explore regional and mythological art, admiring impressive murals by local artist Geens Archentti.

The tour to Lamas proceeds to the neighborhood of Huayco, an ethnic Quechua-speaking community that preserves its ancestral traditions. This unique place is noted for its residents' handmade colorful attire and mud homes without windows, as they believe evil spirits enter through them.

At the conclusion of your tour, we will return you to your hotel.
