Lamas: 25 kilometers from Tarapoto; this ancient town is famous for its people who still maintain their ancestral traditions and customs. The people of Lamas ("Lamistas") are descendants of the Chancas who, defeated by the Incas when trying to invade Cusco, fled to the jungle for shelter. The Lamista's population were finally defeated about 100 years after the Spanish conquest. Today, they maintain their traditions, customs, language (Quechua) and the pureness of their race.
