La Posada de Sauce — Hotel in Sauce

It was so worth the 2 hour bus ride from Tarapoto to get here. Located before the main town, the property has a stunning lakefront location and all rooms have unobstructed water views.

There’s also a yoga studio for use. |Irma and Martha are excellent hosts and provided me with the best breakfast I’ve had in Peru and probably anywhere.

Hannah arranged a tree climbing session, a trip on the lake by boat, and a hike to an amazing waterfall where we could swim in the refreshing pool at the bottom. ||||Breakfast each morning was a delightful meal on the lovely verandah of the main house.
