All in small or private groups, with close attention, bilingual guidance and plenty of opportunities to capture unforgettable moments.
It is the ideal choice for curious travelers seeking an authentic, safe, flexible and cultural experience. It allows you to know the essence of Iquitos in a few hours, without losing quality or depth.
