It is a very humble area where tourists are attracted by its &#8220;floating houses&#8221;, constructions built on the water that serve as shops, homes and even discos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get to the most interesting spots, it&#8217;s common to take a boat and make stops at different points in the neighbourhood. A must-see in the Barrio de Bel\u00e9n is its <strong>market<\/strong>. Here you&#8217;ll find everything from exotic drinks made from jungle fruits such as camu camu and aguaje.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>To get there, you can walk from the city centre or take a mototaxi.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p><em><em><em>Organise your travel itinerary with&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en?action=modal&amp;target=register&amp;ref=blogpassporter&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=things-to-do-in-iquitos&amp;utm_term=recommendation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Passporter<\/a><em>&nbsp;easy and functional.

It was built in 1906 in Germany and transported in pieces to Iquitos, where it was assembled. It began service in 1910 as a rubber boat. Its mission was to travel the upper Amazon basin collecting the rubber that was collected in the stations. The&nbsp;engine room is still intact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-Malecon-of-Iquitos\"><\/span>3.

But it does have a place of a certain magic: the Malecon. The riverside promenade along the&nbsp;Itaya&nbsp;river&nbsp;has atmosphere all day long. But it is very special at sunset, when the climatic rigours subside, the air is filled with aromas of river and jungle and the&nbsp;Malecon&nbsp;is populated by couples, families and gangs of friends who stroll and entertain themselves in this space free from the noise of the omnipresent motocarts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-attachment-id=\"21605\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/peru\/things-to-do-in-iquitos\/attachment\/iquitos-travel-motocarts\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Iquitos-travel-motocarts.jpeg?fit=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,768\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Iquitos travel motocarts\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Iquitos travel motocarts&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Iquitos travel: motocarts @unsplush&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Iquitos-travel-motocarts.jpeg?fit=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Iquitos-travel-motocarts.jpeg?fit=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Iquitos-travel-motocarts.jpeg?resize=1024%2C768&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Iquitos travel motocarts\" class=\"wp-image-21605\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Iquitos-travel-motocarts.jpeg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Iquitos-travel-motocarts.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Iquitos-travel-motocarts.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Iquitos-travel-motocarts.jpeg?resize=800%2C600&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Iquitos-travel-motocarts.jpeg?resize=400%2C300&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Iquitos-travel-motocarts.jpeg?resize=200%2C150&amp;ssl=1 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Iquitos travel: motocarts @unsplush<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-Monkey-Island\"><\/span>4.

Here they receive primates that are rescued from endangered areas or that have suffered some kind of problem and have to be rehabilitated. Once they are recovered, they are returned to their natural habitat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fun part of this tour is that the monkeys roam freely around the island and approach you as normal, even taking the confidence to climb on your back when you least expect it! They also live with other animals, such as the adorable sloth bear and colourful toucans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>\u00a0To get to Monkey Island, you can either go on a scheduled tour or on your own.

Amazon birth<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>From the&nbsp;Nauta pier,&nbsp;there are boats that take you to the confluence of the&nbsp;Ucayali&nbsp;and the&nbsp;Mara\u00f1on, where the river officially begins to be called the&nbsp;Amazon. In reality the&nbsp;Amazon&nbsp;is born thousands of kilometres upstream, at the&nbsp;Apacheta col, near&nbsp;Arequipa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is only from this point that it finally begins to be called the Amazon. The body of water is so large that you can hardly see the confluence: you just see brown water everywhere and a green line of jungle in the background. But for geography geeks, standing at the place where the Amazon officially starts to be called the Amazon is a travel landmark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-Allpahuayo-Mishana-national-reserve\"><\/span>2. Allpahuayo-Mishana national reserve<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>About 45 minutes drive along the road to&nbsp;Nauta&nbsp;(27 km) is the ranger house and entrance to this nature reserve, the best example of&nbsp;varillal&nbsp;forest&nbsp;in the Peruvian Amazon region. It is a patch of jungle that has grown on a background of white sand, which means that the trees that have adapted to this nutrient-poor environment have a thin trunk (hence the name varilla or varillal). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has an incredible variety of species, from flora to reptiles, birds, several types of monkeys endemic to the park and large mammals. The simplest visit is to walk, guided by a park ranger, the two trails signposted from the access booth. You can also access&nbsp;by boat on the Nanay River, in this case it takes about two or three hours to the village of&nbsp;Nina Rumi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Map-and-travel-itinerary-to-Iquitos\"><\/span>Map and travel itinerary to Iquitos<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here we leave you our map with the places we recommend to visit in Rabat so you can organize your trip easily and quickly.

However, these are long trips that take several days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where-to-eat-when-you-travel-to-Iquitos-Peru\"><\/span>Where to eat when you travel to Iquitos Peru<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of Iquitos&#8217; greatest treasures is undoubtedly its food.
