Jaén - San Ignacio - Jaén
Edit ThisFor those passing by Jaén on route to or from Chachapoyas, it's feasible to visit San ignacio in one day, than come back. If you’re on route to or from Vilcabamba, Ecuador, you’ll have to run less.
In the early morning, say 8 o’clock, take a mototaxi to the “Paradero por San Ignacio”. Minibuses leave here all day long. The ride costs 12 soles takes about two hours, following the Chinchipe valley, then more..| World66 rating: |

Bagua Chica isn't exactly attractive. You might arrive in the Terminal Terrestre or busterminal. From there walk or take a mototaxi to the market area (0,5 to 1 soles), near the Plaza de Armas. You'll be happy to leave within half an hour. At the market area you can take more..
