Yanachaga Chemillén National Park

Start with San Alberto for a forest outing from Oxapampa. Choosing a specific trail makes this large national park easier to plan.

What to expect

In San Alberto you can discuss walks such as El Cedro or the more demanding Abra Esperanza. Let what you want to see and how far you want to walk guide your choice. Moss, ferns and plants growing on trunks deserve as much attention as a final viewpoint.

How it fits into a journey

Use a full day during your Oxapampa stay. Keep the drive to Pozuzo for another day.

Practical answers

Is San Alberto the whole park?

No. It is a visitor sector near Oxapampa. Arrangements for this sector do not establish access to other parts of Yanachaga Chemillén.

What if I do not want a demanding walk?

Agree a shorter outing and turning point beforehand. Do not automatically choose Abra Esperanza because the view sounds appealing.
