You are the first to see the Dawn on the Amazon Café Menu.

Welcome To The Dawn on the Amazon Café.

Our goal is to provide you with the freshest, highest quality, most delicious safe food and drink for a healthy breakfast, lunch, and dinner at a reasonable price. Our food, made fresh daily in our own kitchen, is free of artificial ingredients, MSG, and refined sugar.

My promise to you is we triple rinse all fruits and vegetables in purified water. Rinsed three times with purified water so you don’t have to worry, and so I don’t have to worry. The Dawn on the Amazon Café is the only restaurant in Iquitos that uses purified water every step of the way from the market to your table, including the coffee, soup, ice, and water. Combined with our excellent hygiene, you can enjoy the fruits and salads and every item on the menu with confidence.

We are proud to be serving the freshest, purest, fruit and vegetable juices, all-natural smoothies and world class fair-trade organic coffee in Iquitos.

Enjoy them in our casual California-Iquitos style sidewalk cafe, sitting under the shade awning overlooking the boulevard and river, or take-out our gourmet grab-n-go to your home or office. Call 600057 or 223730 to order in advance.

Drinking the freshest, purest tropical juice is one of the healthiest things you can do for your body in terms of hydration, nutrition and overall well-being.

Ayahuasca Diet Menu

We realize there is a large gray area of what is an acceptable diet from one Ayahuasca Center to another, and from one dieter to another. We are committed to accommodating the variety of diets and information into one menu. Everything on the menu will not be appropriate for everyone. Please pick and choose what is best for your situation based on the ingredients listed. Please don’t say, for instance, “I can’t believe he has basil and garlic in his pasta sauce.” If basil and garlic are not part of your diet, don’t order the pasta sauce. I think we can all agree that pork, fat, excess oil, pepper, and hot pepper, should be avoided before taking Ayahuasca. This menu eliminates those ingredients from the recipes, and minimizes salt.
