Iquitos Tours, Tickets & Excursions

"Miguel was my tour guide for the day and he was such a fun guy. It wasn’t like a guide giving me a tour. It was more like my buddy taking me around time. We had so much fun and laugh together throughout the entire tour. It starts with a little tour of the down town area where your guide gives you some historical knowledge about the surrounding building. Then the famous Belen market where you probably wouldn’t want to go by yourself. The highlight for me was the wooden rowboat Lower Belen tour. You’d definitely not go there by yourself but it’s a place to see. The lives these people live… We rode tuktuks to the rescue center where they hold rescued jungle animals, and the zoo where you’ll see jaguars and bunch of other jungle animals. I had only one day in the city and this was so worth it."

"We stayed at the Heliconia Lodge near Iquitos for three days. It was a unique and truly magnificent experience. The tour operators really know how to efficiently schedule the various activities, so on day one I was immediately surprised by how much we were able to get done and still not feel dead-drop tired. Our guide, Freddie, deserves special recognition for his spirit of service and immense knowledge of the region. I could not think of a single time where I had a question that he could not answer. He also made the tour feel very personal, as if we were visiting an old friend. He went out of his way to play his guitar everytime we had a meal and that was truly memorable! Some of the activities included a magical nighttime boat ride in the Amazon, a fun excursion to La Isla La Des Los Monos, a stroll through the Amazon (safe and with boots provided), and a visit to a local village. Obviously, the quality of the lodge and service will not change the fact that you are in the Amazon, so be ready for limited (but in my opinion enough) WiFi time mosquitoes when leaving the lodge. Electricity is also provided most of the day, but with breaks. I did not feel like that affected my experience in a negative way. The boat ride from Iquitos to the lodge is around two hours, but chances are you'll fall asleep for most of the ride. Overall I'm very satisfied with the experience and would definitely recommend it."

"Great location flexible itinerary really recommend. Great food amazing good given location. Atmospheric, good rooms ...."

"We visited a wildlife reserve and got to hold monkeys and sloths. Panchita the Howler monkey was the best! We also got to swim in the Amazon! How crazy is that!?"

"Altough we were a bit anxious, due to the low price and lack of review. everything was absolutely OK. The lodge was nice, the food was delicious and our guide, Ray was the best. He is a local guy, born in the jungle, speaking very good English and he was very friendly. He told us a lot of interesting information about the nature and people living in the jungle. Highly recommended."

"This was a fantastic experience for my friends and I. We enjoyed everything about this guided tour and stay from the food to the workers to the locations.
