About
Peruanische Region im Amazonas-Regenwald, bekannt für ihre Artenvielfalt, Kaffeeproduktion und die Kolonialstadt Tarapoto.
The San Martín Region is a part of Peru in the Amazon rainforest, in South America. Visitors come to it for its biodiversity and for the coffee grown on its hillsides, and it makes a fitting stop for anyone who wants to see the Amazon from a more intimate, lived-in side.
What the region offers
- Biodiversity: The rainforest here is rich in plant and animal life, so the region suits travelers interested in nature and wildlife.
- Coffee: Coffee production is a defining part of the local economy and landscape, and it gives a good reason to linger over a cup and learn where it comes from.
- Tarapoto: The colonial city of Tarapoto is the region's best-known town and a natural base for exploring the surrounding area.
Planning a visit
Tarapoto gives visitors a place to rest between excursions into the forest, and the region as a whole rewards those who are happy to slow down and move at the pace of the countryside. Because the San Martín Region is defined by its rainforest and its farming, the time spent here tends to be shaped by the natural world rather than by a dense schedule of sights. Those who enjoy nature, good coffee and small colonial towns will find that the region fits those interests well.
