It is a nice place to visit. If it is possible for you, bring the exact price of the ticket. The entrance fee is S/.15 and they do not accept credit cards only cash and probably they won't have change The visit is divided into two parts: The rescued animals and the plants. The rescued animals are parrots, macaws and manatees. There is an anteater. Manatees are rescued and cared for at least 5 years and then released. They do a good job taking care of the animals. In the part of the plants you will find many Amazonian medicinal plants and some traditional ones for rituals or ceremonies, among others. A part of this tour is subdivided into seeing some sculptures and one in particular that is the spirit of the jungle. They also have to do a boat ride and canopy.

A beautiful conservation program a short 45 minute ride from Iquitos, Centro de Rescate Amazonico (CREA) gives hope to the world. I highly recommend making the visit for a modest 30 soles and seeing all of the rescued manatees (they had 11 total during my visit) and other bonus wildlife (macaws, sloths, anteaters). The intentions and story here are pure and you'll leave inspired by the work they are doing to rescue and reintroduce manatee throughout the region. Enjoy the visit (tours are typicall 1.5-2 hours) and consider donating at their website.

Legitimate rescue center about 15 mins from Iquitos. I learned a lot about various animals and plants native to the Amazon, and we had a lot of fun taking photos! For international , English-speaking visitors, my guide spoke excellent English and he was able to share a lot of information about the importance of certain animals to the local ecosystem.

Amazing place to go and support the incredible work they are doing here. Unfortunately our tour guide rushed us going through the animals. The second guide where you walk through the gardens was great. Got a bus there, took an hour and was 3 soles. Took a tuk tuk back but also easy to get a bus return.

Absolutely wonderful. The area open to the public is small. But this organization is so important. The work they are doing is vital to the lives of the animals and protecting how they play a part in nature. I highly recommend this place. The stsff are so nice and clearly love their jobs.

Great guided tour of the Rescue center. A was able to learn many things about the species being held, and about the team who are not only rescuing animals to reintroduce to their natural habitat, but also their efforts to educate the locals about taking care of local flora and fauna.
