¡Welcome to Honoria! A land rich in culture, nature, and traditions. On this occasion, we will take you to explore the route of the Hirviente River of Honoria or Mayantuyacu, a unique experience in the Peruvian jungle that you cannot miss.
The route of the Hirviente River is an adventure for nature and adventure lovers. This river, located in the province of Leoncio Prado in the Huánuco region, is known for its high temperature, which can reach 85 degrees Celsius in some areas. This temperature variability has affected the local fauna, giving the surroundings a unique biology in the world, which earned it the recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1990.
The route begins in the center of Honoria, where a local guide will take you in an off-road vehicle to the entrance of the river. From there, you will have the option to take a guided hike through the jungle to reach the river, or take a boat tour along the Huallaga River to the confluence of the Hirviente River.
Once at the Hirviente River, you can enjoy a relaxing bath in its thermal waters and contemplate the beauty of the surrounding jungle. You will also have the opportunity to visit the different shamanic centers around the area, which are considered sacred by the native peoples of the region.
But the adventure doesn't end there. During the journey, you can visit local communities that live in harmony with nature, and they will welcome you with open arms to show you their traditions and customs. You will have the chance to learn about their culture and gain insights into the medicinal plants and their uses by the local inhabitants.
The Hirviente River route is an enriching experience that allows you to disconnect from the routine and connect with nature and the local culture. But don't worry about your safety, as all tours are guided by local experts who know the area perfectly and will provide you with all the necessary information to enjoy this adventure safely and responsibly.
