An amazing experience
We had a lovely time visiting the market and do the boat tour with Kelwin. He really did his best for us. He was knowledgeable and showed us places we would probably not have gone to alone. He knows the name of all the fish, meat, fruits, vegetables, seeds, spices, herbs, and remedies. He answered all our questions, which made the visit more interesting. We felt really safe and lucky to have such a nice guide!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much friends,Olodie and ken to have booked their tour with kelwin's Amazon Adventures tourist agency.

Great day at the market!

An Authentic Experience
Our August Belen tour with Kelwin was an excellent experience. Even before the tour started, he was very responsive and helpful in all our conversations. He arrived promptly at the meeting point, and throughout the tour he shared an impressive amount of detail, showing a deep knowledge of Belen and its history. What made the experience even more meaningful was Khelvin's own life story. His roots are in Belen, and hearing his personal perspective gave the tour an authenticity that you simply can't get from a guidebook. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to discover the real Belen.

Best Guide in Iquitos!!
Kelwin was an awesome guide that customized our experience with the time we had before catching our flight. He took care of all the entrance fees and made sure we were comfortable and well taken care of! Highly recommend Kelwin—book your next tour in Iquitos with him!! 💙💚

Amazing experience!
This was a fantastic tour. Kelwin texted ahead of time to confirm tour details, arrived punctually at our hotel, and was an excellent guide. He's a local resident who's very familiar with the Belen market and the floating city, and he was eager to share his knowledge, helping us to see and understand these places in a way that would not have been possible on our own. He was also kind and friendly, and we (two female travelers) felt very safe with him. We would absolutely recommend this tour.

Belen Market & Floating City 2-3 Hour Private Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Iquitos.
How much does Belen Market & Floating City 2-3 Hour Private Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $55 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Iquitos usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Belen Market & Floating City 2-3 Hour Private Tour take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Iquitos is not rushed.
Is Belen Market & Floating City 2-3 Hour Private Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 67 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Iquitos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Belen Market & Floating City 2-3 Hour Private Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Belen Market & Floating City 2-3 Hour Private Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Belen Market & Floating City 2-3 Hour Private Tour?
+
Around 23 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Iquitos can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Iquitos and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Belen Market & Floating City 2-3 Hour Private Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Iquitos within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Iquitos?
+
On Outty we rank every Iquitos experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Pacaya Samiria Mystical 3 Days, 4 days 3 nights on the banks of the Amazon River, Amazing Jungle 3Days 2Nights - Amazon Wonder Expeditions. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Iquitos?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Iquitos?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

Does Belen Market & Floating City 2-3 Hour Private Tour include hotel pickup?
+

What languages is Belen Market & Floating City 2-3 Hour Private Tour offered in?
+
