The new Places of Peru series journeys us into Peru’s northern interior through many wonderful and diverse regions.

Today we follow the Marañon River to the Amazon.

From Cajamarca to Chachapoyas, Tarapoto to Yurimaguas, it would have been nice to dedicate a photo album to every one of these incredible places and their surrounding attractions.

However, this segment of the Places of Peru series will move fast down the steep Eastern Andean slopes like the Marañon river through the deep valleys which it carves…

The journey through Peru’s wild north is one that can take 2 weeks or 2 years.  It depends on you.  As Peru is a world within a world, so too are the places of Peru worlds within themselves.  The landscapes, impressive though they may be, only scratch the surface of Peru’s rich human culture both historic and living.
