5 days in Tarapoto and Moyobamba

Five days using Tarapoto and Moyobamba as bases: distinct outings, a moving day and time for plants or birds.

What to expect

Day one: arrive in Tarapoto and spend time in town. Day two: choose Lamas or Ahuashiyacu rather than making both compulsory. Day three: travel to Moyobamba. Day four: a prearranged Waqanki visit or another chosen nature activity. Day five is for departure or return to Tarapoto. Add a day if you want both Tarapoto outings.

How it fits into a journey

Two nights per base is a suggestion. Put the last night in Tarapoto if that fits the flight better.

Practical answers

Can this start on landing in Tarapoto?

Yes, provided day one remains an arrival day. Avoid a fixed excursion immediately after the flight.

Can I stay longer in Alto Mayo?

Absolutely, if plants and birds are your interests. Add a full visiting day rather than another overnight location.
