marker 7 of the Iquitos - Nauta highway,
southwest of Iquitos (30 minutes by car)
Visiting hours: Mon. – Sun. 8:00 A.M. –
5:00 P.M.
The complex is located at about 15
minutes by car from Iquitos and covers
369 hectares. It is located around the
lake of Quistococha. The Complex has
an artificial beach known as Tunchi
Playa. Visitors can visit a museum, the
aquarium, and a zoo with snakes and
other exotic animals. There are paths
around the lake and a small dock on the
water where one can rent boats.
Furthermore, it has a tourist
restaurant, a collection of captive
birds, children's park and sport courts.
One can request permission to enter the
park by car. This way you can avoid the
stairs and the steep grade ramp at the
entrance. The paths of the entire
complex vary in terms of surface -some
are concrete, some unpaved- and also in
terms of width, but they generally are
35.1 inches (0.90 m) wide. It is
necessary to have some help for the tour
if the visitor has limited physical
mobility or uses a wheelchair. There are
no accessible public restrooms. (PromPerú) |
