In the middle of the Amazonas, jungle, isolated from roads and highways, is Iquitos, the jungle city. If you want to go there, you must fly or travel by boat, because there are no roads leading to the city (or only one, and only to the neighboring village). However, or simply because of that, tourism is booming in Iquitos. The place is considered an ideal start to travel in the Peruvian Amazon or impressive excursions in the raging Amazon River. Whether backpackers or ecotourists, from here you can embark on a journey of discovery in the jungle.
The Pilpintuwasi Butterfly Farm and the Amazon Animal Orphanage are about 20 minutes away by boat and a few steps from Iquitos. Here you can admire not only the colorful butterflies of the Amazon to enter Soles 20, but also visit the rescue station of orphaned animals of the Amazon, jaguars, monkeys, anteaters and the Company. The animals were rescued from the jungle or are animals that have been treated poorly as a tourist attraction and are taken care of here.
