Description
We start the tour with pickup in Pucallpa and transfer to the district of Honoria, located in the province of Puerto Inca, Huánuco region. From there, we will navigate for 30 minutes along the Pachitea River in a local boat, enjoying the jungle landscape that surrounds the area.
Subsequently, we will take a hike of approximately 40 minutes along natural trails until we reach the Shanay Timpishka River, known as the boiling river, whose waters reach temperatures of up to 40°C. In this place, you can enjoy a thermo-medicinal bath in a privileged natural environment, accompanied by the Impicchatori eco-lodge, which highlights the connection with traditional Amazonian medicine.
