Yurimaguas is a port in the Peruvian Amazon, with river traffic arriving from Iquitos. The town itself is often just a transfer en route to Tarapoto

Get in

There are boats downstream past Lagunas and the Pacaya-Samiria National Park and on to Iquitos, Peru. Eduardo boats are the most frequent & recommended.

Get around

There are road & river connections to Tarapoto, & buses from there to the Pacific coast.

Sleep

There are a few hostals in the main town (around the Plaza da Armas). However, most boats allow you to stay overnight before the start of the journey, and for no extra charge.

Go next

Ejetur has buses through Chiclayo & on to Trujillo.
