Discover Iquitos
Iquitos is an Amazonian city reached mainly by air or river. Its markets, rubber-boom architecture and proximity to reserves and lodges make it an excellent base for discovering Loreto’s great rivers and biodiversity.

The city is a year-round destination. Water levels are generally higher from around December to May; more beaches and trails appear from June to November, although rain is always possible.
The climate is hot and very humid. Pack breathable long sleeves, repellent, a lightweight rain layer, secure footwear and protection for cameras and documents.
Allow one day for the city and at least three nights for a rainforest experience. More remote lodges require longer boat journeys but can provide stronger wildlife opportunities. Iquitos has no continuous road link with the rest of Peru. Visitors arrive by air or on long river journeys, while lodge transfers leave from coordinated ports.
Walk along the riverfront, visit Belén Market and see historic buildings before travelling by boat to communities, flooded forest and protected areas. Cruises and lodges offer birdwatching, night walks and canoe trips.
