Complejo Turistico de Quistococha

Complejo Turistico de Quistococha, Zoo complex in San Juan Bautista, Peru.

Quistococha is a 369-hectare Amazon rainforest complex around Quistococha Lagoon in Iquitos, Loreto. It contains a white-sand artificial beach called Tunchi Playa, a zoo, a taxidermy museum and a plant nursery, and is bordered by palms of aguaje. A thatched-roof shelter with a sign reading "COMPLEJO TURISTICO" and "QUISTOCOCHA" stands on the sand.

Quistococha is officially listed as a "Parque Turístico Nacional" within Peru's Sistema de Reservas Turísticas Nacionales, the only tourist park in the Department of Loreto. The complex lies next to the LO-103 departmental road and has become a reference point for tourism in Iquitos. Its grounds are used for research, conservation and reforestation work.

The name Quistococha comes from the lagoon the complex surrounds, and the artificial white-sand beach is called Tunchi Playa. The site also holds a museum of Amazonian taxidermy, a zoo with mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish, and a nursery used for reforestation and botanical gardening.

The site is open during daylight hours and offers affordable entry fees for visitors. Several transportation options are available from nearby Iquitos to reach the location.

The facility houses a natural history museum with taxidermy specimens of Amazonian animals. This collection complements the living animals and presents the region's wildlife in a different way.
