Iquitos is a great opportunity and an excellent selection for all those that want to escape for a moment of the concrete forests, infernal noises and pollution of the big cities. It is also special for those that want to have a close encounter with paradisiacal places in the virgin jungle of the Amazon, without any other noise than the ones made by the birds, monkeys or insects.

From its strategic location at north of the jungle, next to the Amazon River, in an area which many rivers converge (Itaya, Nanay, Morona, Napo, etc.) you can arrive to Iquitos and go everywhere you desire by these rivers and stay in lodgings.

From these points you will be able to carry out hikes to the interior of the forest and jungle or the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve. Take rides in canoes by small rivers and channels. You also can be in territories that have changed, a little or nothing, in the last 10,000 years and enjoy the magnificence of the jungle, knowing and sharing the same space with thousands of animal and botanical species.

It is possible that you can also visit native communities as part of the activities that the lodgings prepare.

Close to Iquitos are located numerous lodgings that have elaborated an excellent plan of activities in the jungle. You also can find lodgings a little far away from the city. These lodgings are usually located in the bank of a river and they have bungalows and cottages that have all the comforts, and others of more restricted services. Some of these places have investigation laboratories, orchid nurseries and special places for the observation.

Usually they offer services of visits and guided walks to the jungle. They wait for you at the airport from your arrival to Iquitos, and after your visit, they return you to the airport.
