Audio Guide of Grau Boardwalk

Grau Boardwalk is a public space open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so you can visit at any time. However, I suggest enjoying it during the day to better appreciate the scenery of the Ucayali River and its surroundings, or at sunset for a spectacular view. At night, there is usually more atmosphere and local life. There is no specific access control.

Good news! Access to Grau Boardwalk is completely free. It is a public space designed for the enjoyment of all visitors and the local community. You can walk, relax, and watch the river without paying any fee.

For a relaxed visit where you can stroll peacefully, take photographs, and enjoy the atmosphere, I would recommend spending between 1 and 2 hours. If you stop to observe riverside life, the boats, or have something to eat or drink nearby, it could take a little longer. It is a place to explore at your own pace.

Grau Boardwalk is much more than a simple promenade; it is the heart and lungs of Pucallpa, serving as its main riverfront artery and connection point with the mighty Ucayali River. Its name honors a national hero. It is a social, commercial, and cultural meeting point, reflecting the daily life of the people of Pucallpa and their close relationship with the river, which is the region’s main route of communication and livelihood. It is a living testimony to the city’s Amazonian identity.

The best time to visit Grau Boardwalk is at sunset, when the sun sets over the Ucayali River, offering spectacular views and more pleasant temperatures than at midday. As for the time of year, the dry season (approximately from May to October) offers lower river levels and less rain, making the walk easier. In any case, Pucallpa is hot and humid all year round, so come prepared.

Grau Boardwalk has wide, paved sections that make access easier for people with reduced mobility and wheelchair users. However, as it is a public space with some age, there may be a few irregularities or level changes in specific spots. In general, most of the main route is quite accessible.

Of course! Very close to Grau Boardwalk, you can find the Main Square of Pucallpa (Plaza de Armas), which is the city’s civic center. You can also explore the Model Market for an immersion in local culture and products. In addition, there are nearby piers where you can book tours for boat trips on the Ucayali River or visits to Indigenous communities. Some local restaurants and cafés are also within walking distance.

Of course! I recommend bringing sunscreen, a hat or cap, and enough water, since Pucallpa’s climate is warm. If you plan to visit at sunset, don’t forget your camera to capture the beautiful colors of the sky over the river. Keep an eye on the boats and vessels coming and going; they are an essential part of the landscape. And most importantly: immerse yourself in the local atmosphere, enjoy life in Pucallpa, and the friendly people of the jungle.
