about Iquitos

Iquitos is the most important city in the jungle of Peru. Located on the Amazon River, between the Napo River and the Ucayali River, it cannot be reached by road, only by airplane or boat.

Iquitos history

Iquitos was established as a Jesuit mission in the 1750s, and in 1864 it started to grow when the department of Loreto was created and Iquitos became it capital.

Iquitos was known for its rubber industry through first decade of the 20th century, and there are still great mansions from the 1800s, including one designed by Gustave Eiffel. There are also many floating houses on the Amazon River.

Iquitos has become important in the shipment of lumber from the surrounding forest to the outside world, and it offers modern amenities for the residents and tourists of the area.
