In Puerto Maldonado the heat becomes so strong that ice cream is a divine reward. Is that why the best ice cream shop, located in the Plaza de Armas, is called Gustitos del Cura? It is a spacious and modern cafeteria, which serves different flavors. We recommend you try the local flavors such as: copazu, aguajina, cocona, camu camu or chestnuts.

They also offer milkshakes, coffees, empanadas, tamales or desserts. This cafeteria supports the children’s homes of the Peruvian-Swiss NGO Apronia, so you are doing a good job anyway.

The ice cream shop is located next to the verdant Plaza de Armas, heart of the capital of Madre de Dios, a few steps from the new Continental Bridge and is almost always full and, behind the benches and between the tables, our work team made up of men, women, single mothers, young people who were educated in the home and who nowadays work in order to move forward the home Prince.

Hanging on the walls, next to the tables, there are drawings and explanations of the Amazonian fruit used: chestnut, camu camu, cupuasu, guanábana …

On the wall of the house there is a beautiful sample; a large panel with photos of smiling children and a writing: “This ice cream shop belongs to Apronia (Association for the protection of children and adolescents), with your acquisition you collaborate in the maintenance of its two centers: Prince and Home San Vicente”.
