  • WHEN TO GO TO IQUITOS?
    The city of Iquitos has a warm and rainy climate throughout the year. The mean annual maximum temperature is 31 ° C (88ºF) and the mean annual minimum is 21 ° C (70ºF). Iquitos has exclusively two stations, which depend on the water level of the river. Each one pleases visitors in different ways.
    Winters are the high water seasons. They are gentle and with constant rains, arriving in December and ending in May, with March and April tending to include more humid weather. During this season, the river and its tributaries increase their flow allowing excursion boats to enter the flooded forest. In May, the Amazon River reaches its highest levels, steadily dropping 30 to 12 feet to its lowest point in October, and then steadily rising cyclically.
    Summers are the low water seasons (June-November). They are hot, but somewhat unstable. Although July and August are the driest months, there are still some periods of downpour. Sunny days and good weather are common, reaching high temperatures of 30 ° C and an average of 32 ° C. During this season, the river retreats and beautiful white sand beaches form.

    The dishes have been designed so that travelers can carry out different activities and always feel good, agile and light. Our products are fundamentally organic, from our own farm, as well as the chickens and ducks that circulate through the ecolodge, whom we call "happy birds."
    In addition, based on our comfort of the essentials, we seek to offer pure flavors from top quality regional ingredients. Getting the best out of each product is our motto. We have a selected wine list for those who want to taste different alternatives.
