La Casa Fitzcarraldo

Iquitos


Sequestered within a serene walled garden 3km north of the city, this is most interesting accommodation. The house takes its title from Werner Herzog’s film − Herzog and co stayed here during the filming of Fitzcarraldo. Stay in the mahogany-floored blue room, the luxuriantly green Klaus Kinski suite (with its beautiful butterfly picture) or five other individually designed rooms.

There is a tree house (with wi-fi!), a lovely swimming pool (nonresidents S10) and a huge breakfast included in the price, as well as a bar-restaurant, mini-cinema and several four-legged residents to check out. Unique stills from the filming of Fitzcarraldo line the walls of the public areas. The place is a S3 mototaxi ride from the center; airport pickup is included in room prices, however.
