Owls' Cave and Santa Carmen Nature Expedition in Tingo María

Departure from Tingo María at 8.30 am. to the Tingo María National Park area. 

First, we went to the Cueva de las Owls, a magnificent cave located at the foot of the Sleeping Beauty hill with the presence of stalactites and stalagmites, where parrots, parakeets, swallows, bats and guacharos coexist. 

Next, if the Monzón River is in good condition, we can take a boat ride. 

Afterwards, we disembark on the other side of the river to visit the Aguas Sulfurosas spring, which has medicinal properties due to its high concentration of sulfur. 

Likewise, on the route we will make a stop at the Mirador Jacintillo to appreciate the city of Tingo María and the union of the Huallaga and Monzón rivers.

In the afternoon, we headed to the hamlet of Puente Pérez, then along a motorable road we continued to the upper part, the control area. Subsequently, we undertake a hike up to the Santa Carmen Waterfalls, where you can enjoy the landscape and take some delicious dips in its natural pools of refreshing, crystal-clear waters.

Upon returning to Tingo María, we head to the Mirador de la Cruz. 

When we are at this point, we can see the city on the horizon and the silhouette of a reclining woman lying on the mountain known as “Sleeping Beauty” (Optional)
