Iquitos is a very cheap place to visit and to stay, where a ride in a ‘mototaxi’, a kind of motorized riksja, will cost you about 50 cents; where you can eat an excellent meal for two euros, and where seven euros buys you a modest but clean hostal room.
Obviously, the rainforest is by far the most important reason why tourists come to ...

Iquitos city is quiet and humid. People is nice and very vivacious.
Everything is cheap and all the food is fresh.
You must get outside the city and feel the tranquility of the forest, the water and big trees.

I loved Iquitos! The only negative thing I can say about it is that it was very, very hot.

The city is the gateway to the Amazon with a Times Sqaure attitude every night. The rainforest was all I ever dreamed and more. The staff at Explorama were some of the best I've encountered.

GO!!!! anytime, You'll LOVE it.
