Yarinacocha Lake
7 km northeast of Pucallpa (15 minutes by car)
The water is warm and still, and it is an old meander of the Ucayali River that was created when the river changed course. During the rainy season, the lake joins the Ucayali River through canals or “caños” and allows a huge variety of fish to swim in its waters again, thus periodically rejuvenating its waters. You can fish, water ski, swim, row, and see fresh water dolphins in the lake. In Puerto Callao, the main dock of the lake, you can rent boats that will take you to different mixed and Shipibo-Conibo indigenous communities. San Francisco, Nuevo Destino, and the village, 11 de Agosto o “Basketweaver’s village”, called this because many of the women weave baskets out of plant fibers that are collected in the forests for a living, are the most important ones. They knit baskets, purses, fans, hats, bread baskets, and a wide assortment of other utilitarian items from arrow grass heart, bombonaje straw,andbanana tree bark.
