The Asset
AWAKEN Sanctuary is a complete, autonomous property in Santa Clara de Ojeal, Punchana district, Loreto, Peru, about 16 km from central Iquitos in a straight line (about one to one and a half hours by land and river via the Nanay port, or 10 minutes by helicopter). It is a built asset, not a green-field project — and it is what the buyer takes over.
Land (a key de-risking strength)
26.83 hectares of private property in five parcels registered with SUNARP (Peru's public land registry), with a COFOPRI-formalized chain of title, purchased directly from local families. Title is clean and unencumbered, the land under the built property is held by the operating company, and the property sits outside the constitutional border-zone restriction. Clean, registered ownership of premium Amazon land is rare and is a significant advantage. Adjacent parcels can be acquired as an expansion option — available on request.
Accommodation
29 villas and buildings — 35 sellable units across six categories, 41 rooms (3,782 m² built), a maximum of 76 guests. The mix is deliberately weighted toward the mid-tier (jungle, lake and river villas) that does the commercial work, with a small number of high-rate signature units (SPA villas, the tree house) that lift the blended rate and anchor the premium positioning. Each category, its capacity and its rack rate (rental only — meals and activities are separate revenue lines):
| Category | Units | Guests / unit | Max guests | Rate / night |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Room in Apart-Hotel | 8 | 2 | 16 | $150 |
| Jungle villa | 12 | 2 | 24 | $250 |
| Lake / River villa | 8 | 2 | 16 | $350 |
| Deluxe villa | 4 | 2 | 8 | $400 |
| SPA villa | 2 | 4 | 8 | $550 |
| Tree house | 1 | 4 | 4 | $650 |
| Total | 35 | — | 76 | $150–650 |
Because the whole property holds a maximum of 76 guests behind a single gated perimeter, it can also be sold in its entirety to one group at a time — the full-territory buyout that is the Sanctuary's most differentiated product (see Revenue Engines).
Shared spaces
The communal buildings are sized for a full house and for group programming: a restaurant (220 m²) with a full commercial kitchen, a gathering and conference hall (200 m²) for retreats, offsites and ceremonies, a yoga hall (180 m²), a spa, and an open-air tree platform over the water. Together they let the property run multi-day immersive programs (3, 5 and 7-day) and host a single large group without any outside presence.
Infrastructure
The Sanctuary is a self-contained, autonomous reserve — it does not depend on the grid or the town for power, water, connectivity or access:
- Power: solar generation with generator backup.
- Water: on-site water treatment and filtration, fed by 2.5 hectares of reservoirs.
- Connectivity: Starlink high-speed internet across the property.
- Access: a helipad (to be equipped) — 10 minutes from Iquitos by air — in addition to the land-and-river route.
- Security & privacy: three security gates with a guarded perimeter, so a group has the whole territory to itself.
- Staff: dedicated staff housing on site supporting a full operational team.
The buildings were constructed between 2021 and 2024 in the local vernacular — timber and palm — with materials legally purchased from members of the Santa Clara de Ojeal community, which is also part of why the property sits so naturally inside its landscape.
Current condition — and what the buyer receives
The property has been closed since November 2024 after a sequence of climate events: a February 2024 thunderstorm destroyed the electrical system; the late-2024 wind hurricanes damaged the roofs of 12 villas, destroyed the yoga hall and knocked out 2 of the 3 water pumps. The closure has added general wear.
The buyer does not receive the property in this state. Restoration — a climate-resilient rebuild of the water and electrical systems, the roofs, the yoga hall and the pumps, about $270,000 of work — is included in the sale price and is completed by the seller within 3–5 months, so that the property is handed over in operating condition.

Location
Santa Clara de Ojeal, Punchana district, Loreto — about 16 km from central Iquitos (about 1–1.5 hours by land and river, or 10 minutes by helicopter).

- Invested capital: $2,617,268 to date, confirmed by the official valuation of the companies, registered with SUNARP — the basis of the $2.7M price.
- Shareholders: the capital was contributed by 45 shareholders under a single Shareholders & Project Stakeholders Resolution; the shareholders have mandated the sale.
- Active tourism licence: the company holds a current, active tourism operating licence.
- Tax regime: operates under Ley 27037 (the Amazon regime) — a 5% corporate income tax, in force through 2048; the companies are not IGV (VAT) payers. A durable, multi-decade fiscal advantage that transfers with the company.
