Visit San Martín
The San Martin region of Peru is known for its gorgeous landscapes, diverse wildlife, and rich cultural heritage. Located in the northern part of the country, this region is home to several national parks, including the Amazonas National Park and Cerros de Amotape National Park. In addition to these spectacular natural attractions, San Martin also has a number of historic sites worth visiting, such as Tarapoto's colonial architecture and Huallaga's archaeological ruins.
Tourists can experience the culture and traditions of San Martin while exploring its lively towns and cities. Tarapoto is known for its colorful markets filled with handicrafts from local artisans. The city of Moyobamba has a stunning landscape surrounded by lush rainforests and rivers. A visit to Juanjui will take visitors back in time with its ancient streets lined with Spanish-style mansions dating back centuries ago.
One interesting historical fact about San Martin province is that it was one of the first regions impacted by European influence when Jesuit priests arrived in 1638 as part of their mission to spread Christianity among Indigenous people living there at the time. To this day many religious festivals are celebrated throughout the region annually that reflect this past history.
