San Martin is called the green region, in which you can rest from the noise of the city – to do so, go for instance to La Laguna Azul.

In the heart of the city there is situated Plaza de Armas – the main square – with lots of shops, banks, cafes and museums.

In the neighbourhood there are a few of them – among them Ahuashiyacu, which is the biggest in the whole region and surrounded by amazing Amazonia nature. Go also a bit further to a small village San Pedro de Cumbaza, where you can see the waterfall Huacamaillo, which provides exceptional ambience.
