Solo travel
I loved the Nature around Tarapoto! I stayed with Friends so i cant say something about Hostels But i Heard there are some good ones. You can easily get around in motocar (5 soles If its another quadra) and it should be mostly save at daytime (bei carefull at night ans also in quiet far away areas in the city) The food you can buy On the Corners like Maduro con queso y maní oder das Getränk Aguachina are perfekt (you need to be carefull tho because it Is streetfood) there are also nice Restaurants Like blue elephant and Panda to eat Makis and the vegetarian Menu on jirón Ramírez Hurtado is nice, you get a Lot for the price. Also recommend to Drink Coconut water. On the markets you can try Lots of different food and fruits. Visiting Centro Urku (animal rescue Center) and the natural Parc that comes when you follow the Same Road to the end (to hike waterfall or top of the beautiful Mountains) are recommended! Near to the Center you can go partying in Calle de las piedras (stonewasi with live Rock music, Cava, Karaoke Bars, ...) Or you Go More far to the Discothek (papipoint/ Anaconda) Tarapoto definetly Is my Favorite place On earth i Hope you get to see why! <3
