Tarapoto - Lamas

LAMAS, TARAPOTOLamas is a province and capital city located 22 km from Tarapoto. It is also known as the folklore capital of the "Ethno-Historical Central Region of San Martin", and is inhabited by an ethnos descended from an ancient Peruvian warrior race called the Chancas, who after a failed attempt at taking the imperial city took refuge in the Lamas area, very close to the Chapahuanki waterfall. The city is a small hillside village located on a 1,000 meter peak, with very steep unpaved streets, except for those close to the main square.
Originally, the city was named Santa Cruz de los Motilones de Lamas. Lamas is a quiet and peaceful town that seems lost in the mists of time. Located in the upper Amazon area, it seems to be an Andean village undergoing a process of transformation, and rightly so. As we mentioned, it is believed that the Lamas population came down from the mountain area hundreds of years ago, maintaining their customs, while adapting to jungle life; these people still value their Inca lineage.Contact Us: kuelap@msn.com |
