Parque/Laguna de Quistococha
A resort complex about 13km (8 miles) south of Iquitos, the Quistococha Lagoon and Tourist Park has a nice beach and swimming area. It's mostly a spot for local families to hang out on weekends. Attractions include picnic grounds, paddleboats, an aquarium, a walking path around the lagoon, a zoo with exotic jungle animals and fish, including monkeys, serpents, jaguars, and pumas, and a fish hatchery that's populated by giant paiche fish. There's a restaurant on the grounds, as well as informal food stalls set up near the entrance to the park.
