San Pablo de Loreto is a village, and the location of a leper colony in Peru.

In 1941, it became an agricultural colony in which the patients had to work the fields.

[1] In 1952, Che Guevara and Alberto Granado worked at the colony.

The colony was closed for admission from 1967 onwards, and a 1968 report by Dr Masayoshi Itoh described that 87% of the patients were in need of surgical treatment.

[2] The leprosium has since then closed, and the patients have been transferred to Iquitos.
