The wildlife conservation centre at the Fundo Neysser island in Iquitos is worth a visit. It was a boat ride away from our lodge in Iquitos (Ceiba Tops). It is not a huge conservation centre, but they take care of different sorts of wildlife - animals, birds and reptiles. I saw a sloth bear for the first time and also... More

Juan Carlos, your host at the Refuge, is a self-educated expert on the exotic plants-and animals-you'll see on your guided trips from the lodge, and we had a great time with him and the native...
