Once in San Antonio, navigate to the coordinates RX6M+2W9, which is where the Amazon River is located. Make sure to have a GPS or a map app handy, as road signage can be minimal in some areas. The total distance is about 100 kilometers, and expect to pay tolls along the way, which may cost around 5-10 soles.

• Public Transportation (Bus)

  To travel by bus, first head to the bus terminal in Chachapoyas. Look for buses heading to San Antonio; these runs are frequent. The bus ride will take approximately 2 hours and should cost around 15-20 soles. Once you arrive in San Antonio, you can either walk or take a local mototaxi to the coordinates RX6M+2W9 where the Amazon River can be accessed. Ensure you ask the bus driver or the ticket seller for the exact stop to get off at for the river.

• Local Mototaxi

  After reaching San Antonio, you can hire a mototaxi to take you directly to the Amazon River coordinates RX6M+2W9. Mototaxis are a common mode of transportation in the area and can be found at the bus terminal or you can ask locals for one.
