Moyobamba, Colonial city in San Martín Region, Peru
Moyobamba occupies a high bluff at 860 meters elevation, with the Mayo River flowing below through the northern Peruvian rainforest.
Spanish conquistadors established this settlement in 1540, making it the first Spanish city founded in the Peruvian Amazon region.
The Fiesta de San Juan celebration on June 24 brings together residents for traditional food preparation, music performances, and community gatherings.
The city connects to Tarapoto and Bagua through a network of roads, with additional routes leading to the Pacific coast through Olmos.
The surrounding cloud forests contain over 3,500 native orchid species, leading to an annual Orchid Festival during the first week of November.
