Overview

This tour combines culture, adventure and authenticity in a few hours, ideal for those who have limited time before a flight or when arriving in Iquitos. You will tour the famous Bethlehem Market with a local guide who will explain the secrets of the Paquito Passage, known for its natural medicines, tobacco, ayahuasca and other Amazon remedies. Then you'll cruise a traditional unpowered canoe through the floating city of Bethlehem, exploring overwater houses and riverside communities. The experience lasts from 2.5 to 3.5 hours and is conducted in small or private groups, with personalised attention, in Spanish or English, in secure areas. Weather permitting, you can also try piranha fishing as an optional activity. It is a brief but deep dive into local Amazonian life, perfect for those seeking authenticity, security and direct contact with culture.
