Top Iquitos Cultural Tours

Join us on this unique and adventurous experience! The tour begins when your local guide, Marlon, meets you in front of Restaurante Fitzcarraldo in Iquitos (2 short blocks from the Plaza de Armas). You will then take a motokar to the Belen Market where you will explore many stalls of regional foods, drinks, spices, medicines and craft goods. The tour is designed so you can see hidden corners of the market and taste local fruits and delicacies. Ask questions along the way because Marlon is very knowledgeable and can help you negotiate! To further this cultural experience, you’ll then take a boat ride along the Venice of Iquitos and see the daily life of the Belén neighborhood and people. Be sure to bring your camera and wear closed toe shoes! Tour includes bottled water, transportation between attractions (motokar and boat) and select tastings within the market.

Discover the real Amazon life in just a few hours! This immersive tour combines culture, adventure, and authenticity, perfect for travelers with limited time before a flight or upon arrival in Iquitos. Explore the famous Belén Market with a local guide who will introduce you to the hidden world of Paquito Passage, known for its natural medicines, Amazonian herbs, tobacco, and ayahuasca preparations. Then board a traditional canoe to navigate through the floating city of Belén, where houses rest on the water and local families live in harmony with the river. The experience lasts about 2.5 to 3.5 hours, with small-group or private options, offering personalized attention in English or Spanish. If weather allows, you can even try piranha fishing as an optional activity. It’s a short but unforgettable journey into Amazonian life, ideal for travelers seeking authentic experiences, local culture, and safe adventure in the heart of Iquitos.

Our guided tour is special because your guide keeps you well-informed throughout the entire journey—not just taking you places, but explaining what you’re seeing, the cultural context, and river life. We also choose indigenous communities where the experience is authentic and respectful, with no pressure to buy crafts and without overpriced entrance fees that take advantage of travelers. We protect our guests from unexpected or excessive costs, keeping everything clear, fair, and safe. The tour is well-organized and starts at the Boulevard, a clean, calm, and safe area—so you begin the adventure with complete peace of mind. And because it’s almost a private tour (small groups of up to 6 passengers per boat), we can move at a relaxed pace—no rushing and no crowds. While cruising on the Amazon River, we can spend extra time looking for dolphins, slowing down when possible to enjoy the scenery—something large group tours rarely do because they follow strict schedules and move too fast.
