We begin our journey from the Iquitos Boulevard, heading to the Belén Market, a place where locals trade everything from fresh Amazonian fruits to exotic meats like paiche and turtle. Here, you'll witness the raw energy of a market unlike any other, where traditional herbal medicines and amulets are sold, revealing the deep-rooted healing traditions of the Amazon.

Next, we explore Paquito Passage, the heart of Amazonian alternative medicine, where elixirs, tonics, and aphrodisiac drinks are crafted from native plants. This hidden gem offers a glimpse into the ancient remedies still used by locals today.

From there, we set off in a canoe ride through the lower Belén district, often called the “Venice of the Amazon,” where wooden houses float on the ever-changing tides. Experience the daily life of river communities as you navigate through canals, seeing families, fishermen, and even floating schools that adapt to the rhythm of the Amazon.

This tour offers a rare and immersive experience into the soul of Iquitos, blending adventure with cultural discovery. As an optional final activity, you can try piranha fishing, testing your skills against one of the Amazon’s most iconic predators.
