Satipo is a small and attractive jungle town about 350 km east of Lima.
It is situated on the eastern foothills of the Andes, in the
departmentof Junín. It is the
centre of a fruit-producing region. When you travel to Satipo from
nearby Huancayo, high in the Andes,
you will see fantastic sceneries.
Coming from the Andes you will slowly descend to the lush tropical
valleys of Satipo. The surrounding area of Satipo has about everything
the Peruvian Selva has to offer: tropical
jungle, cloudforests, waterfalls,
a rich flora and fauna, and even high mountains and plains.
Another beautiful road leads from the nearby Chanchamayo Valley through the
jungle to Satipo.
