Why You Should Go to Iquitos
Iquitos is known as the largest city that cannot be reached by road, so getting there feels like an adventure from the start! Despite being Peru’s largest city on the Amazon River, Iquitos is one of the world’s most isolated towns due to its remote location.
In Iquitos, you’ll find species that don’t exist anywhere else and experiences that you won’t find anywhere else in the world. A gourmet restaurant floats down the Amazon River, and there’s even a Treehouse hotel where you can live out your childhood fantasy!
Luxury river cruises and rustic lodges serve as home bases for daily excursions that take you deeper into Peru’s Amazon rainforest. On an Iquitos tours amazon into the Peruvian jungle, you can photograph lush jungle landscapes, spot wild animals in their natural habitat, taste Peruvian superfoods straight from the tree, and listen to the symphony of sounds around you.
