Explore Tarapoto: The Palm City of Northern Peru
Tarapoto may not impress first-time visitors with its initial appearance. The city is characterized by a combination of unremarkable, semi-modern buildings and modest tin-roofed homes, while its surroundings lean towards agriculture, contradicting the expectation of a dense jungle environment. Furthermore, the often oppressive heat and persistent noise from mototaxis may make the destination seem less appealing to some travelers.
