Other names used for the language include Iquita, Ikito, Amacacore, Hamacore, Quiturran, and Puca-Uma, although Iquito is the most common.
Iquito is spoken in the Loreto Province, the regions of the Pintoyacu, Nanay, and Chambira rivers, and the villages of San Antonio and Atalaya.
The Iquito people cultivate yuca, are fishermen and hunters, rubber gatherers, and traders.
The infectious diseases of whooping cough, measles, and pneumonia had devastating effects on the speaking population, with a high number of fatalities.
The University of Texas sponsored a program run by graduate students to help the population of San Antonio revitalize the Iquito language.
