Iquitos, Port city in Loreto Region, Peru
Iquitos stretches along the Amazon River banks with traditional markets, modern restaurants, and colonial buildings adorned with Portuguese tiles and iron structures.
The city emerged from a Jesuit settlement in 1757, later transforming into a major commercial center during the rubber production period of the 1800s.
The Belen Market displays regional products, medicinal plants, and traditional foods, reflecting the deep connection between local communities and Amazonian resources.
Travelers reach Iquitos exclusively through Francisco Secada Vignetta International Airport or by boat navigation along the Amazon River system.
The three-deck riverboat Ayapua from 1906 houses the Historical Ships Museum, presenting maritime artifacts from the rubber industry period.
