HOST INTRODUCTION
We, Analía Sarfati and Percy Sánchez, were a young Peruvian couple with our heads full of dreams, who decided to embark on an adventure in 1999 with our two-year-old son, Santiago. We traveled around beaches, rivers, valleys, and the enormous mountains of Peru, but none of what we saw caused such a visual impact on us as the Amazon River and the jungle. We sought a location which was remote as possible from civilization, and, with the help of the Community of San Juan de Yanayacu, this dream became a reality. From then on, Muyuna became our life project. We try every day that Muyuna shows the world a sustainable approach to responsible and conscious tourism. Many travelers have been trapped by the legend of Muyuna, returning more than once to where it all began. Muyuna is 100% Peruvian, including all of our employees in Iquitos and in the jungle. Similarly, the majority of the products which we use, more so than being of high quality, are made in Peru; from the sheets and towels, to cleaning products and food etc. that is to say, that the money which we receive is invested back into Peru. We hope you can help us continue this story. If you’ve ever come here, you are now part of it.
