located 80 kilometres away from the city of Iquitos, on the edge of the
majestic Amazon River, in deep primary jungle – an ideal location for

also has a number of medicinal plants such as the ‘Sangre de Grado’ –
‘Clavo Huasca’ – ‘Oje’ – ‘Chuchuhuasi’ – ‘Ajos Sacha’ and ‘Uña de Gato’
amongst others, also the hallucinogenic ‘Ayahuasca’. This stunning
environment is complemented by our comfortable set of private bungalows
with en suite, protected from insects and with a relaxing hammock area
perfect for reading. With artificial lighting from 17.30 to 22.00 hours,
the visitor will enjoy a wonderfully comfortable environment that will
make for a greatly enjoyable stay.
