Amaca Eco Station

We had a wonderful time at Amaca Eco Station, nestled in a beautiful, lush jungle on the outskirts of Iquitos. This tranquil retreat is thoughtfully designed with eco-friendly details and offers a very cozy bungalow. The hosts, Ben and his wife, were incredibly friendly, and their adorable dog Gaia added to the charm. We enjoyed occasional visits from Pichico monkeys and spotting various birds. Local shops and restaurants are within walking distance, as well as the Centro de Rescate Amazónico and a lagoon for swimming. Ben’s hospitality was exceptional; he even arranged our transport from the airport and back to Iquitos. We would definitely stay here again—it's perfect for travelers seeking a relaxing time in a stunning natural setting!

What to be aware of: For larger shopping trips, head to Iquitos as nearby options are limited to basic shops and a few restaurants closing early.

Really lovely place. Super peaceful and lots of birds and lizards. The owners are great at answering questions and were generous about offering support when I got sick. As a bonus, very near the Amazon Rescue Centre, as well as a small local market and a range of restaurants. I stayed in a maloka with a very well equipped kitchen that was a joy to use.
