Taxi: ~15–20 min from Tarapoto to San Pedro de Cumbaza — typically more comfortable and luggage-friendly (rough guide $10–25 USD depending on provider and negotiation).
Moto-taxi: Often cheaper and quicker for solo travellers — prices vary locally but can be much less than a taxi and are widely available in town.
Both are reliable options from Tarapoto and easy to arrange either at the airport or in town.
Note: Prices fluctuate with season and fuel costs; it’s usually best to confirm approximate fares locally before departure.
Prompt for taxi/moto taxi driver:
“San Pedro de Cumbaza, y luego siga por la carretera del río hasta Nova Terra.”
