What a truly amazing experience. Not only were the encounters with rescued animals more up close than in a traditional zoo, but the volunteer who guided our tour was informative, funny, and extremely knowledgeable.

What a truly amazing experience. Not only were the encounters with rescued animals more up close than in a traditional zoo, but the volunteer who guided our tour was informative, funny, and extremely knowledgeable. He obviously cared about each and every animal, which made our encounters personal and touching. Our whole family - including 2 boys 12 and 14 - had one of the most memorable experiences.CarlaU21

El mariposario es magico, es una visita obligatoria si estas en Iquitos. Las comunidades con gente muy amable, las artesanias locales son bonitas, es un tour que me ha cautivado!

Duración 15 a 20' espacio reducido, pocas mariposas que no se podían percibir bien, más variedad pudimos observar en habitad natural, calidad precio no coherente S/.20 el ingreso, practicamente nos sacaron a las volandas, dejamos de ir a la isla de los monos por ver el mariposario, experiencia agridulce ya que invertimos tiempo, transporte en bote y moto-taxi para llegar y salir del lugar. Puede mejorarse teniendo tanta naturaleza y clima para poder ofrecer mejor servicio al turista y obtener una experiencia agradable.
