Nauta
Nauta is a bustling small town situated in the northeastern area of the Peruvian Amazon roughly 100km south of the Province's capital, Iquitos. Established by Pacaya–Samiria--a leader of the Cocama peoples following the 1830 uprising at the Jesuit mission of Lagunas, Nauta soon became the primary commercial hub of the Peruvian selva baja (known also as Omagua, or the Amazonian lowlands) (See William Smyth and Frederick Lowe, 1836:204, 258).
