In this vast territory, 400 species of birds, 2000 kinds of exotic plants, 500 species of trees and 100 plant types that can not be found in any country in the world, easily coexist.

Overnight in the jungle
Tourists who dream of plunging into the life of the wild Amazon, stay overnight in ethnic villages or rent an eco-lodge (a cottage in the jungle). This is especially popular among newlyweds. If necessary, you can rent a two-storey house, made of environmentally friendly materials. The house has two bedrooms, a large ecological bathroom, a kitchen and even a spacious bar. Mosquito nets are installed to protect against insects on the eco-lodge windows. There is no electricity here, but romantic lighting is created with the help of a lot of candles, and natural water accumulates in special containers. Park Ayapahoyo-Mishan was created for lovers of eco-tourism, who prefer to rest surrounded by virgin nature, clean water reservoirs and exotic plants.
How to get there?
There are two ways to get to Ayapahuayo-Mishan Park: by ferry, which follows from the port of Bellavista Nanay in Iquitos, or by public transport along the route Iquitos-Nauta.
