Travel Information
The camp is situated 30 minute drive from the village of Tamshiyacu and 1 hour by speedboat from the main Airport city of Iquitos.
Getting to Iquitos
You will first need to book an international flight to Lima, the capital of Peru, and then take a domestic flight to Iquitos. The domestic flight is around 1hr 40mins.
You can either:
Purchase a package deal that includes your domestic Iquitos flight, or
Book your national flight separately, which can sometimes be more cost-effective.

Arrival in Iquitos Before the Retreat
Please arrange your flights so that you arrive in Iquitos one day before the retreat begins. This allows for any delays or missed connections and ensures you’re ready for our group departure to the camp the next morning at 9am. We will travel to the camp together by speedboat on the first morning of the retreat.
Accommodation in Iquitos
We suggest booking a hotel in the city centre, ideally within a few blocks of the plaza. This area offers a variety of restaurants, a scenic riverfront for relaxing and dining and convenient meeting points for group departure. Here are some suggestions.
-DoubleTree Hotel by Hilton
-Boulevard 251 | Riverside Apartments for Rent
-Nativo Hotel, Iquitos – Updated 2023 Prices
-La Casona
There are many more options on Booking.com.
Getting from Iquitos Airport to Your Hotel
Moto-taxis are readily available inside the airport. The cost to the city centre is around 20 soles and takes around 30mins. Be sure to write down your hotel address to show the driver. Alternatively, some hotels offer a shuttle service — check with your accommodation when booking.
Departure from Iquitos After the Retreat
On the final day, we will return to Iquitos at 11.30am. The journey from the city centre to the airport takes approximately 30mins depending on traffic. To avoid missed connections we recommend booking an outbound flight departing after 2:30pm. This also allows for any unforeseen delays.
Important Note for Lima Airport
When you land in Lima, you must collect your luggage before checking in for your domestic flight. Your baggage will not be automatically transferred.
