★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 85 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $50Our pick

Explore Iquitos’ Belen Market and floating neighborhood by motokar and boat with local guide Marlon, including tastings and cultural insight.

“Marlon was an excellent guide. He is from the area and knows the market inside and out. He speaks English well and took the time to explain the different fish, meat, vegetables, fruits, natural medicines and shamanic items. He also bought fruits for me to taste. The market was a chaotic warren but fascinating. I was so glad Marlon was there to help guide me as I wouldn’t want to do this on my own. The boat ride through the floating village was also great. He took me to his home which was a humbling experience. All in all this was an unforgettable experience. Gracias, Marlon!”

“Szallas, programok es az étkezés rendben voltak. A túra vezetés színvonala azonban nem. Alapvetően az angol nyelvtudás hiánya miatt nem kaptunk elegendő információt, választ az adott helyről, adott szituaciorol, egyes élővilágra vonatkozó kérdéseinkre. Olyan érzésünk volt mintha csak egy kísérő lenne mellettünk, aki max a biztonságérzetet növelte.”
