Please, verify it nevertheless by a spider freak! There are several Avicularia sp. around the rainforest!

Thank you Bayucca for the ID, and yes, I saw it during a night walk in the same Peruvian rain forest, it was wondeful.

Just a very shy guess. I am absolutely not a spider freak, so you need verification. Take it as a hint. I walked 2 hours in the middle of the night through the Peruvian rainforest to look for this one...
