Tarapoto is a city located in the jungle region, exactly in the department of San Martin, and is made up of 5 districts (Tarapoto, Juan Guerra, Morales, Cacatachi and La Banda de Shilcayo). This land was discovered by the Hanan Chancas and Pocras, who arrived here after fleeing from the Incas. Later, the Spanish heard about "El Dorado", a mystical place where everything was gold, and went to the jungle to look for it. Little is known about how and why it was founded, but by 1782 it was a town that already existed and already had the name "Tarapoto".
