Audio Guide of Moyobamba Main Square

Moyobamba Main Square is a public space and is therefore open 24 hours a day, every day of the week, free of charge. You can plan your visit at any time that suits you, although the evening can be especially pleasant thanks to the lighting and atmosphere.

To enjoy the main square at a relaxed pace and stroll through the surrounding area, I would recommend allowing between 30 minutes and 1 hour. If you also plan to take photos, visit a nearby craft shop, or sit and soak up the atmosphere, you may want to stay a bit longer.

The main square is the heart of Moyobamba, the first city founded by the Spanish in the Peruvian Amazon. The city’s main civic and religious buildings are concentrated here, making it a gathering place and venue for important events that reflects the history and identity of the 'City of Orchids.'

The best time to visit Moyobamba is during the dry season, from May to October, when the weather is more pleasant. As for the time of day, sunset or evening is ideal for enjoying the lighting and activity in the area, although early morning is also very peaceful and cool.

Yes, Moyobamba Main Square is generally accessible. Its paths are flat and paved, which makes it easier to get around with a wheelchair or stroller. As an open public space, it does not present major architectural barriers.
