Pucallpa, Commercial port city on the Ucayali River, Peru
The capital of Ucayali region stretches along the banks of the Ucayali River, connecting the eastern Amazon region with the rest of Peru.
The settlement transformed from a small missionary outpost in the 1840s to a major transportation hub after the completion of the Lima highway in 1945.
The Shipibo-Conibo indigenous communities maintain their traditions through craft production, fishing practices, and ancestral ceremonies in neighborhoods around the city.
Travelers reach Pucallpa via Captain Rolden International Airport or through river vessels that navigate the Ucayali River from Iquitos to the north.
The Natural Park within the city boundaries contains 28 hectares of protected land with 400 different Amazon species of plants and animals.
