The Lonely Planet describes Tarapoto as “a sweltering jungle metropolis”. While it is a bit far from being a metropolis, this is definitely a hot vestige of the vast Peruvian jungle. Whether you have been traveling in the cool Northern highlands, or along the coast which is cold during our summer months, or perhaps just finished trekking in Huaraz, Tarapoto is a welcome change in climate where you can finally put on some shorts and get an ice-cream of an exotic flavour (granadilla? guanávana? chirimoya? -- it's your pick!).

Does the word “Leymebamba” sound familiar? Probably not, which is a shame. Leymebamba is a small town in the department of Amazonas, close to the start of the Amazon forest.

Lobitos is located on Peru’s north coast, just a few hours south of Mancora. Currently, Lobitos is an isolated destination that isn’t easy to reach. However, like many beach towns in Peru, South America and around the world, Lobitos is gaining popularity for it’s amazing waves.

We want to thank the backpacker comunity who visited Peru and stayed in Pariwana Hostels for helping us with reviews and comments. What better way to celebrate than with a Pariwana Harlem Shake!!! Our office went crazy!
