Tour's Location

Amazon River

What time and where do we meet?

Meet your guide at 9:30 AM at your hotel lobby or a pre-agreed meeting point in Iquitos. Please be ready 10–15 minutes earlier. The tour lasts approximately 8 hours and finishes around 5:30 PM. Pickup times may vary slightly for group pickups—details are confirmed after booking. (Bilingual guide Spanish/English included.)

What should I bring?

Bring comfortable walking shoes, light clothing, a hat, sunglasses, biodegradable insect repellent, sunscreen, swimwear and towel if you plan to swim, a small dry bag for valuables, and enough cash for optional activities, lunch, and souvenirs. Don’t forget any personal medication.

Is the tour suitable for children or guests with reduced mobility?

Children are welcome—please contact us for child rates and arrangements. The tour includes walking on uneven surfaces, market aisles, and short forest paths, so it is not fully wheelchair-accessible. If you have mobility limitations, tell us at booking and we’ll do our best to accommodate or suggest alternatives.

Are entrance fees, meals, or optional activities included?

Yes. Entrance fees to Fundo Don Pedrito, Monkey Island, El Encanto de Rony, and the Yagua Indigenous community are included. The program also includes a buffet lunch with a seasonal fruit drink, as well as access to the swimming pool at Amazon Queen Lodge.

Is this tour suitable for all seasons?

Yes. The Iquitos city tour runs year-round and is suitable in both the dry and rainy seasons. Rain showers are common in the Amazon, but they are usually short and the tour continues as planned. We recommend bringing a light rain jacket or poncho to stay comfortable.

 

Do I need to book in advance or can I join last minute?

We recommend booking at least 24–48 hours in advance to guarantee your spot and allow us to arrange logistics such as guides and transportation. Last-minute bookings may be possible depending on availability, but cannot always be guaranteed.
