This tour offers you an authentic and personalized experience through the iconic Belén Market and Floating City, guided by locals who know every corner and share real stories of Amazonian life.

Unlike large or overly touristy tours, this experience is short, practical, and perfect for those with limited time in Iquitos — ideal before catching a flight or starting a longer jungle adventure.

You'll navigate in a traditional non-motorized canoe, exploring floating streets, native markets, and connecting directly with local people, their flavors, customs, and sounds. All in small or private groups, with close attention, a bilingual guide, and many opportunities to capture unforgettable moments.

It’s the ideal option for curious travelers seeking an authentic, safe, flexible, and cultural experience. It lets you discover the essence of Iquitos in just a few hours — without sacrificing depth or quality.
