I need a legit Tarapoto travel company to give tours of villages, waterfalls, hot springs, all there is to do outside of the city. The two web sites I've tried from my Lonely Planet suggestions have been terminated. I've just made reservations for a hostal beside the city square for three nights. Sh...

I'm looking for the best transportation method from Piura to Tarapoto. I'd actually kinda like a bus bc it would allow me to see more of Peru.

Any suggestions?

In writers land, it's known as NaNoWriMo. For the nonwriter, it would be enumerated as National Novel Writing Month. Is anyone in Peru participating in this? I'm not a novelist but I'm participating.

I'm not aboard the latter ship. And most certain...

OK. It appears most people want to do this at a different hour and avoid conflicts with the other Starbucks meeting. Therefore let's start this blog group NEXT week:

I hope that works better for people.
