Oxapampa, Peru was founded by German settlers in the 19th century. The ride to Oxapampa takes about 10 hours by bus from Lima, Peru. The trip goes high into the freezing mountains before dropping down into the warmer climates.
Fruit market. Good melons.
Originally the German settlers built beautiful wooden homes. Slowly Oxapampa is being converted into the typical square cement ugly buildings found in the capital of Lima. So you need to head toward Pozuzo about 3 hours away deeper into the bush to escape.
But still Oxapampa has the surrounding mountains and a pretty nice climate except in the 4 month rainy season. Basically Oxapampa is surrounded by a cloud forest.
The small town offers a nice market by a river flowing through town and the central park is alright for kicking back and checking out ass. Some decent restaurants and coffee shops will keep you happy for a week.
Property prices are inflated by Gringos and Peruvians from Lima. Unfinished Gringo projects fill the Realtor walls of love gone sour. So maybe you can pick up a McMansion on the cheap.
Hiking in the cloud forests are best taken with a lover. Plenty of winding creek hidden corners to hump your lover in. No need to hold back. Howl like wolves on all fours when the orgasm finally comes.
Not so many tourists make it to Oxapampa. So you won’t feel like a zoo animal. Worth a 1 week trip and then move on.
