About This Tour
Discover the real Amazon life in just a few hours! This immersive tour combines culture, adventure, and authenticity, perfect for travelers with limited time before a flight or upon arrival in Iquitos. Explore the famous Belén Market with a local guide who will introduce you to the hidden world of Paquito Passage, known for its natural medicines, Amazonian herbs, tobacco, and ayahuasca preparations.
