At 9 am, we'll meet at the central Avenida Antonio Raimondi to start a comprehensive tour of Iquitos. During the tour, we'll discover the main attractions of this city located on the banks of the Amazon River and delve into its history.

We'll make our way through the historic center of Iquitos, admiring huge mansions decorated with tiles brought from Europe during the rubber boom of the late 19th century.
