Such a good and interesting place to visit while in Iquitos. Very informative and accessible outside Iquitos. Your visit supports the project. It is better if you go with a tour guide so you can also visit other places on the way.

Great Learning Experience

Published on Jul, 2024

After our Amazon River cruise on the way back to Iquitos, the tour stopped by the Manatee Rescue Center. The center works on rehabilitating manatees and other Amazonian animals back to the wild. For animals that cannot be rehabilitated, the center will take care of them or release them to the preserve nearby. Our guide there was very warm and polite to us. He was informative and told us how the center worked and how it was founded. He is very dedicated to preserving the rainforest and hopes that we learn how to do our part.

Worthy to go

The Amazon Rescue Center is one of my favorite places outside Iquitos. The effort of those volunteers in impressive. You can learn about the good care they are doing to rescue the amazonian manatee. Actually, they are now working on rescuing other animal species that are endangered.

Excellent visit, would recommend

Very interesting and informative experience and our guide translated our whole tour into English for us. A good way to spend money towards something worth while in helping the rehabilitation of the animals!

Fun place to visit in Iquitos!

Published on Feb, 2023

CREA is doing such incredible work for the wildlife in the Amazon rain forest. I could have stayed and stared at the manatees for hours. Our guide also woke up the sloth for us to meet, and it was a highlight of my whole trip to Peru. The part of the tour about plants was not quite as exciting, but there were some fun places to take pictures. It felt special to contribute to CREA's mission and is a fun activity in Iquitos for visitors of all ages!
