Tour Details

At the scheduled time, we'll meet at 426 Calvo de Araujo Street to begin this comprehensive tour of Iquitos.During the tour, we'll discover the main attractions of this city located on the banks of the Amazon River and delve into its history.

We'll make our way through the historic center of Iquitos, admiring huge mansions decorated with tiles that were once brought from Europe as part of the rubber fever that brought so much wealth to this city in the late 19th century.

Strolling down the street, we'll come across the façade of the Casa de Fierro, which was designed by Gustave Eiffel, the architect of the famous Parisian tower. Then, we'll arrive at the Museum of Indigenous Amazonian Cultures, where we'll see handicrafts, textiles and other objects belonging to different ethnic groups in the area.

The next stop on the tour will be at the popular Mercado de Belén, a market where we can get lost in the local lifestyle, witnessing the continuous coming and going of the locals. Fruit, fish, meat products... Here you'll find everything!

After stopping at a nearby restaurant for an hour of free time for lunch, we’ll board a minibus for a short drive to the Amazonian Aquarium. Located on the edge of the city, the aquarium showcases diverse fish species from across the region’s rivers, such as those from Loreto, along with various day and night-active fish. The highlight of the visit, however, is undoubtedly the electric eels.

After a total of 8 hours, the tour will finish back at the starting point.
