This Belen Market and floating city tour in Iquitos is a private outing of about four hours, built around water and street life. It begins on the Iquitos boulevard with a walk of six blocks along the Malecon Tarapaca, with views over the Itaya River, a tributary of the Amazon.
Next comes Belen Market, the most important market in Iquitos, selling regional food, traditional remedies and goods gathered in the jungle. A guide walks you through the stalls, and the tour covers every tax and charge, plus private transport.
- Malecon Tarapaca, a stroll beside the Itaya River
- Belen Market, for local food and jungle products
- Floating City, a town built entirely over the water
- Amazon River, where the Itaya meets it and the waters mix
A ride on a traditional boat of the region then takes you through the Floating City, sometimes called the Peruvian Venice, and you see how people live and work on the water. The boat goes on to the point where the Itaya flows into the Amazon and the two rivers blend. The way back is by tuk tuk or mototaxi.
Lunch, tips and personal purchases are not included. Free pickup is limited to a few listed hotels.
