Iquitos

The jungle city

Iquitos is a jumping off place for an endless list of Amazon activities. The city itself is an island in the jungle, only accessible by boat and plane. It feels very cut off from the rest of Peru both geographically and culturally.

The city itself is hot and loud. Most people get around by motorcycle or moto-taxi, which makes the streets extra loud. The busses are open air and curiously made of wood.

Read my blog about my first trip to Iquitos here.

Food

You can find roast chicken and Peruvian stir-fry chifa just like anywhere else but you can also find Amazonian foods in Iquitos. One of the most popular restaurants for Amazonian fish is Blanquita, which opens at 6pm and is often sold out in an hour or two.
