Plan Your Visit

Know Before You Go — Iquitos

No road access — Iquitos is reached by boat or plane

Iquitos is the largest city in the world with no road connection to the rest of its country, so every tour here involves river boats for at least part of the itinerary.

Pack for humidity and sun

Lightweight, breathable, quick-dry clothing, a hat, and strong insect repellent make a real difference in the Amazon's heat and humidity.

Two real seasons: high water and low water

The Amazon's water level shifts dramatically through the year — roughly December to May is high water, June to November is low water — which changes what's accessible by boat and how dramatic the Floating City looks.

Multi-day jungle lodges use boat transfers, not road pickup

Because most Amazon lodges near Iquitos have no road access, Voyzo's private multi-day tours here include a private boat transfer instead of the usual vehicle pickup.

Yellow fever vaccination

Check current yellow fever vaccination recommendations for the Peruvian Amazon with a travel clinic well before your trip.

Cash is essential outside hotels

Card acceptance is limited once you're away from larger hotels and tour operators — bring Peruvian soles in cash for markets and smaller vendors.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Iquitos

Only by boat or plane — Iquitos is the largest city in the world with no road access to the rest of its country, so most visitors arrive by air from Lima.
The dry season (roughly June–November) offers lower water levels and easier hiking, while the wet season (December–May) brings higher water that's better for boat access to flooded forest areas and makes the Floating City more dramatic.
A half-day covers Belén Market and the Floating City; a genuine Amazon jungle experience, including a lodge stay, typically needs at least 3 to 4 days.
Yes, with common-sense precautions. A private guide, included on Voyzo's private tours here, adds real safety and local knowledge, especially important given the remote, boat-based nature of jungle excursions.
A real neighborhood adjoining Belén Market where houses are built on stilts or rafts directly on the water, rising and falling with the Amazon's seasonal flood levels.
Wildlife sightings, including pink dolphins, monkeys, and sloths, are common on Amazon excursions from Iquitos but can never be guaranteed, since this is a wild, natural environment.
Yes, since most lodges near Iquitos have no road access, a private boat transfer is included in place of the vehicle pickup used elsewhere on Voyzo's private tours.
A prefabricated iron building on Iquitos' main square, built during the city's rubber boom era and, according to widely told local history, linked to Gustave Eiffel's engineering firm.

About Iquitos

Iquitos is the largest city in the world with no road access to the outside world, reachable only by boat or plane deep in the Peruvian Amazon. Founded as a Jesuit mission in the 17th century, it grew into a wealthy port during the late 19th and early 20th-century rubber boom, when European-imported architecture — including the famous Casa de Fierro iron building — arrived by river alongside rubber barons who briefly made it one of South America's richest cities.

Today, Iquitos is best known as the gateway to the Peruvian Amazon, where the Amazon, Nanay, and Itaya Rivers meet, and where the Belén Market and its adjoining Floating City offer a direct look at life built around the river's seasonal flood cycle. Voyzo's tours here run differently from a typical city — with boat transfers standing in for road pickups and jungle lodges reached only by river — matching the real, boat-based rhythm of life in the Amazon rather than forcing a car-based itinerary onto a place that simply doesn't have one.
