A remote place

Iquitos is a city with a population of half a million residents and is located in the Northeast of Peru. It's not an ordinary location because it cannot be reached by land.
To get to Iquitos, it takes four days by boat, or you can choose a more comfortable and faster option: you can take a plane from Lima's airport. Founded by the Jesuits around the 16th century, Iquitos architecture is based on old colonial buildings and traditional houses.

Main Attractions

When talking about attractions and popular districts in the city, we can't avoid mentioning the "Malecón," a beautiful natural area overlooking the Rio where people can find the most characteristic bars.
Another place worthy of note is the Barrio de Belén, located 10 km by taxi from the city center and considered the beating heart of Iquitos. Here you will find a huge market loved by both locals and tourists.
