Iquitos Guided Tour
Iquitos Guided Tour
At 9 am, we'll meet at the central Avenida Antonio Raimondi to start a 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 exploring the market, we'll go to a restaurant and leave you about an hour free for lunch. With your appetite satiated, we'll board a minibus and head to the outskirts of the city to visit a manatee rescue center. Here, we'll learn about the volunteer work done in the hopes of saving these aquatic mammals from extinction.
The last stop of the tour will be at the Quistococha Zoo. This park is home to a multitude of Amazonian species such as jaguars, monkeys, tapirs, caimans, snakes and macaws. You'll be able to see them up close!
At 5 pm, the tour will finish back at the starting point.
