Iquitos Travel Info

A caiman lizard keeps watch in the Amazon basin

If you want to get hot, sticky and up close and personal with some serious jungle action, Iquitos is the place. It's located almost as deep into the Amazon as you can get, 3000 kilometres from the mouth of the Amazon River.

You can't reach Iquitos by road. The only way in is by air or water and the jungle pushes in like a sweating green beast on all sides.
