This was the best part of Iquitos. These people are doing great work to educate people and save wildlife.

We had stopped at the sanctuary to see the rescued Manatees. They were very adorable. They looked like a cross between a walrus and a dolphin. They eat a lot of plants that float in the river. It was so nice to see the small ones rescued and will go back into the river when they are big and strong. I congratulate the staff for doing a wonderful job in saving those animals.

This rescue center is a great place where you can see several animal and bird species together. All animals are rescued and are treated with great care. Most of them return to their natural habitat when they get better. The biggest attraction are definitely the manatees. They are super cute, kind and quiet. Make sure to pay them a visit and support the center with a donation.

I went here a couple of days ago and the work the people do to rescue animals from the amazon is totally touching. The amount of work they put into saving lives is something to admire and to motivate generations for the future. More of this work is needed, if you can volunteer! We need to save the amazing fauna of the world.

We stopped in here at the end of our Amazon Discovery Tour. The highlight was the rescued manatee’s which will soon be returned to the wild. There were also several species of monkeys which we had seen in the wild but not so close up. The facilities for the animals are stark but they will soon be moving to a new facility which will be much more comfortable. This facility has a relationship with the Dallas Zoo in Texas. The volunteer guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Recommended

At the centre they indeed do a great job. from rescuing and rehabilitating hurt animals to educating people. Worth a visit. If you can donate, its for a noble cause. Dont expect to interact with the animals.

Quick tour of the premises. The guide was in training, so we had another guide supervising. Neither were very nice nor accommodating with questions. The animals are kept in small cages, but I guess this is the best that can be done. These are rescued animals and most of them cannot be returned to their natural habitat as they wouldn’t survive. The highlight of the tour was seeing the manatees and knowing the process of rehabilitation being done and that some have been successfully released in their natural habitat.

It is important to understand that you will visit a real rescue center, not place for tourists entertainment. You will have an opportunity to learn more about Amazon nature, to understand eco challenges and how local people address them. Good educational tour for 6+ children and adults.

Not as many animals as one would expect but a fine experience and it provides you with the impression that some people do care animals Also a good place to see Manitees

Can not say enough good things about this sanctuary. We had a tremendous visit and gained some valuable insight into the work they do rescuing indigenous animals. A must see tour if you visit Iquitos Tom and Taylor Jones.

The rescue center for animals is very good..they take care the differents animals very well, the animals are very friendly, and the personal are good workers.

We had a morning free and chose to visit the rescue center. Our guide was highly knowledgeable and she was very friendly. They do amazing conservation work here and i would recommend this place to all who visit Iquitos.

Our visit to the Amazon Rescue Centre was very memorable. In addition to caring for and releasing injured manatees, the centre strives to build compassion for them among children when they are released and reduce harm caused by human predators. Our excellent guide had helped release one of the manatees when he was younger. In addition to manatees, the centre cares for other injured jungle animals. We found this visit to be a very informative and moving experience.

This is a must! The reason why is the cost of entry goes to what these rescue people are doing on a shoestring budget. It will also give you an opportunity to give them a generious contribution to help them in their work so that they can help save the Amazon and its people that depend on tourism to survive.

This great shelter and rehabilitation Center is part of the Dallas World Aquarium outreach and is a nice place to learn more about many animals in the rain forest.
