The reserve extends over 58,069 hectares of varied terrain, including seasonally flooded areas and hills with soil types from clay to pure quartz sand.

The Peruvian government established this protected area in 2004 to safeguard the diverse forest types and water sources that supply the city of Iquitos.

Local communities maintain their traditional practices while protecting water resources and biological diversity essential for their daily activities in the reserve.

Visitors can reach the reserve by taking a 23-kilometer road journey from Iquitos, with basic accommodations available near Nueva Esperanza and the Research Center.
