Pucallpa - Peru
 Pucallpa is a busy Amazon frontier town
in Peru which sits on the banks of the Ucayali River, a major tributary
which feeds the Amazon River. Pucallpa is the capital of the Ucayali
region and has more than 200,000 citizens. Pucallpa is 155 meters above
sea level.
Pucallpa was founded on October 13, 1888, though a small community had
existed on the site since 1534.
Prior the completion of the 846km long Lima-Pucallpa highway (which in
recent times the part closest to Pucallpa has disintegrated to a mudhole
turning the original 2 day drive to a 2 and a half day drive to Lima)
1945, Pucallpa was a small, isolated town without electricity or paved
roads. Today, however, the city has grown greatly in size and is a
centre for local agriculture and industry, with numerous sawmills,
rosewood oil factories and farms in its vicinity. Pucallpa is also the
terminus for a 76km long oil pipeline from the Ganso Azul oilfields in
the southwest.
