Een stukje geschiedenis

Amazonka was founded by a group of anthropologists and collectors passionate about preserving Amazonian culture. It opened in the early 2000s in Miraflores, a district known for its museums and cultural venues, to bridge the gap between Peru's coast and its vast interior rainforest.
