The Amazon is the obvious place to move on to from Huanuco unless you're heading to Lima and the coast. The spiralling descent north from Huanuco is stunning, with views across the jungle, as thrilling as if from a small plane, at their best in the Pass of Padre Abad with its glorious waterfalls. By the time the bus reaches Tingo Maria , the Huallaga has become a broad tropical river, navigable downstream in shallow canoes or by balsa raft. And the tropical atmosphere, in the shadow of the forested ridges and limestone crags of the Bella Durmiente (Sleeping Beauty) mountain, is delightful. From Tingo Maria you can continue the 260km directly northeast through virgin forest to Pucallpa, jumping-off point for expeditions deep into the seemingly limitless wilderness of tropical jungle.
