Parque Natural
About 4km from the center of Pucallpa, off the airport road, is Parque Natural. This is an Amazon zoo set in lush grounds, with a museum displaying Shipibo pottery and a few other objects, a small children’s playground and a snack bar. Buses heading to the airport can drop you here, or take a mototaxi for about S4.

Usko-Ayar
Usko-Ayar is the gallery of the visionary local artist Pablo César Amaringo Shuna, whose work and biography can be accessed at www.egallery.com. Other promising Amazonian artists study, work and display here – it’s well worth a visit. Tell drivers it’s near the Iglesia Fray Marcos.

Chez Maggy
Maggy serves up pizzas nothing short of superb, and from a wood-burning oven. The interior is modern and not plasticized. The unusual, tropical-tasting sangria goes down well with all dishes.
