57 days in Iquitos Itinerary

The largest city in the Peruvian Amazon and the world's largest metropolis unreachable by road, Iquitos represents a major starting point for river and rainforest adventures.

Get out of town with these interesting Iquitos side-trips: Iguana Lodge & Camp (in Santo Toribio) and Momon River (in Rio Momon). Spend the 2nd (Sun) wandering through the wild on a nature and wildlife tour. Spend the 4th (Tue) in the pleasant surroundings of Tapiche Reserve. And it doesn't end there: stroll through Pilpintuwasi Butterfly Farm, see the interesting displays at Museum of Historic Boats, get to know the resident critters at Quistococha Zoo, and admire the landmark architecture of Casa de Fierro.
