Irinita's Net is the largest ground-level Internet cafe in the San Martin District.  With 26 Dell computers, most running Pentium Four processors, none less than Pentium Threes, Irinita's Net has one of the finest private collections of computers in the jungle.  The fastest speed of Internet access available allows for convenient and efficient online activities, such as e-mail, instant messaging, Web browsing, and online games.

Other services offered by Irinita's Net include typing, printing, copying and writing to CD-ROMs, and translation services in English and Spanish.  Irinita's Net has PDT and many software programs uploaded for business applications, and can add additional programs for those who need specific software to work online.  There is even a kids section with selected games available.  Phone cards are available for Claro, Moviestar, Hola Peru, and 147.  Patrons can get a better value through virtual phone cards available at Irinita's Net. 

Irinita's Net also offers a complete refrigerios (snack bar) with fresh sandwiches including ham, chicken, cheese, mixto (ham and cheese), pork, and olives.  Fresh juices made from the fruits of the season are made fresh to order, as well as cocona, chicha morada, cebada, and other local soft drinks.  A complete selection of packaged snacks are available as well, including Frito-Lay brand chips, soda pop, candy, and crackers.  Irinita's Net is the first Internet cafe in Tarapoto to offer beer to its patrons.

Just one and a half blocks off the Plaza de Armas, Irinita's Net is convenient to many hotels, and with the new location at Jr. Alegria Arias de Morey #229, there is even plenty of parking on the street.  A traveler from Colorado stated in February 2008, "I am glad that this is here.  It is very clean and the attendants are very helpful."  A couple from Arizona who visited Tarapoto for three months in the beginning of 2008 said, "Now that we've found this place, we won't go anywhere else."
