- Tropical scenery: The surrounding countryside is lush and green, giving the city a setting very different from the Andean highlands.
Is it worth the trip?
Moyobamba suits travellers who want a slower, nature-focused stay in the Peruvian Amazon region rather than a city of large attractions. If you enjoy botany, warm water and green surroundings, it makes a fitting base. Plan your time around the orchids and the springs, and allow room to simply enjoy the setting.
