This is an ideal place for relaxation and solitude with nature. Fantastic atmosphere! This place is filled with harmony. The owners are good-natured and very helpful people, ready to help with any issues. The houses are clean and cozy, where there is everything and even more. I recommend visiting this heavenly place. Amaca Eco Station and Gaia🐕🦺 are now in my heart 🫶 and I will definitely be back! ¡Hasta pronto!
I have traveled to many beautiful places but Amaca has magic, its sight and day and night sounds clear you and heal you in every way, a lot of peace, comfort, Benjamin the owner is very kind and makes you feel that you are better than at home, I was very sorry to leave your lodge, the cabin has everything to go as a family or as a couple, the winery two blocks away where you find everything and kitchens with the best view and energy in Iquitos, I will return once a year to renew myself, thank you so much Amaca ❤️ 🔥
We so enjoyed staying at Cynthia and Ben’s space! It was exactly what we needed after sitting in plant medicine group the weeks before. This space was perfect for cooking for ourselves and hosting a tranquil place for my partner and I along with our best friend stay. They helped us with the transport from IQT to AMACA which was a perfect distance away from the busyness and also to get to the airport once leaving. Helping us with luggage and having furry friends both brought smiles to our faces. Would love to stay here again and am very grateful for this space! Thank you!
Amaca eco station is a perfect place into the jungle if you want to relax, rest and be in the nature.We loved our stay there. The house is quite big, very clean and the quality of the mattress and pillows are excellent. The kitchen is working perfectly and has all the necessary to cook.You are surrounded by birds, monkeys and jungle noises. We slept like babies during 3 nights. We did not get even 1 mosquitos bites.The houses are hide by the forest so you cannot even see your neighbor, we loved the concept of this place.Benjamin and Cynthia have been very kind and helpful, they gave us a warm welcome and make us feel like home. They also respect your privacy a lot and where never stepping in.The only negative point was internet as it was not working all the time. Benjamin tried to fix it for us, he was very dedicated. So if you need to work or have meeting, maybe not the best place.There is a restaurant at 15 minutes walk but very expensive so I would definitely recommend you to bring food from Iquitos to cook by yourself. Also there is a small shop at the road, 15 minutes walk, where you can buy some bites like snacks, banana, oignons, drinks, ..We loved the dog Gaia ❤️
Beautiful place away from the craziness of the city but very easy to access from Iquitos. Rooms are beautiful and comfy, lush surroundings and very friendly and helpful owner (with the best dog ever, Gaïa). We hope to be back some day!
We spent two incredible nights at Ben's Maloca and it was truly one of the most amazing experiences. The room was exceptionally well appointed and we discovered our favorite restaurant, El Mijano, nearby. Ben's place is not only nestled in stunning natural surroundings, it's also very peaceful. Besides the warm welcome from Ben himself, we were also greeted by Gaïa, a lovely girl who brought an abundance of love and tranquility to our stay. I highly recommend Ben's place if you're looking for a quiet retreat in the beauty of nature.
After a lot of hustle and bustle in Iquitos, we felt very comfortable in Amaca! Benjamin and Cynthia have put a lot of attention to detail into this beautiful place. There were two of us in the beautiful Maloca, which had a perfectly equipped kitchen with a large refrigerator and blender. A dream for us after we had been traveling for some time. If you love dogs, this is the right place for you - Gaia follows you every step of the way. In addition, you are surrounded by large and small animals, almost like you are in the jungle.
I’m so grateful I stumbled upon Amaca while searching for a quite spot in the jungle to integrate after a plant medicine retreat. The Maloca was so clean and comfortable. I had everything I needed. The hosts went above and beyond to ensure I was take care of. I couldn’t recommend Amaca more. This is a beautiful balance of comfort, incredible nature settings, jungle sounds, the convenience of shops restaurants and a wildlife rehabilitation centre within a short, charming walk. My favourite part of my experience was the beautiful bond Gaia, their dog and I shared. Looking forward to my next visit! ❤️
The two rooms are beautifully done “malocas” with a small kitchen and own bathroom in each. They are in a pretty section of the jungle not too far from town. Our hosts were kind and wonderful. For the price a truly excellent value. Highly recommended!
The owners were very friendly and let me use their WIFI for a job interview that lasted several hours, this really saved me! Thank you so much; best WIFI you can get in and around Iquitos and very nice owners :))
