    What you'll see and do

    1. Malecon Tarapaca

      You will visit Malecón Tarapacá which is the main boulevard of Iquitos where you will see grand buildings constructed during Iquitos' golden age, the rubber boom of the late 19th century. There are also many restaurants that you may wish to visit again later during your stay. We will take a short walk from there to the Belén Marketplace.

      30 minutes here

    2. Belen

      The Belén Market is the largest exotic local marketplace in Iquitos, there you will experience local flavor and see how the local people live. The market contains many food products harvested from the Amazon River and jungle: Alligator meat, wild boar, piranhas, turtle eggs, etc. There is also a jungle pharmacy called Pasaje Paquito that sells traditional indigenous medicine such as special herbs and roots.

      60 minutes here

    3. Belen

      Next we will travel to the Floating City of Belén adjacent to the Belén Marketplace. You will see spectacular views of the River Itaya (a large clearwater Amazon tributary). The Floating City is built entirely on the water, and depending on the river level and the time of year, you may see the enormous wooden support structure below the city which is anchored underwater in the riverbed. You will also see the local residents who live and work there, and the construction of their floating houses. Many boats of all sizes will pass by carrying fishermen, hunters, and merchants.

      60 minutes here

    4. Iquitos

      We will take a different route back to Iquitos City that will include spectacular views of the Amazon River itself, one of the seven wonders of the natural world. There you will see where the clear water of the Rio Itaya meets the chocolate-colored water of the Amazon. If we're lucky you may be able to spot pink and gray river dolphins jumping and playing in this area.

    Private Tour in Belen Market, Floating City and Amazon River: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Iquitos.

    How much does Private Tour in Belen Market, Floating City and Amazon River cost?

    +

    Prices start at $140 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 Private Tour in Belen Market, Floating City and Amazon River take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 hours 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 Private Tour in Belen Market, Floating City and Amazon River worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 26 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 Private Tour in Belen Market, Floating City and Amazon River?

    +

    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 Private Tour in Belen Market, Floating City and Amazon River suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Tour in Belen Market, Floating City and Amazon River?

    +

    Around 9 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Tour in Belen Market, Floating City and Amazon River 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 4 days 3 nights on the banks of the Amazon River, Amazing Jungle 3Days 2Nights - Amazon Wonder Expeditions, Belen Market and La Venecia Loretana Tour With A Local Guide. 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.
