Amazing!! - It was an amazing experience. Our guide Miguel was introducing the history of Iquitos, was showing us the Belen market. Shown us local snacks and explaining all the different sorts of food for locals very thoroughly. Then we went Piranha fishing! Highlights of the trip for me! We caught about 8 of them and the boat guy Carlos was very friendly too. Also Miguel gave us some local restaurants recommendations. Highly recommended for this trip!

Best experience in Iquitos! - Miguel speaks perfect English and is very knowledgeable about Iqutios. Loved exploring Belén and had a blast fishing for piranha. Caught some catfish too. Great price for an experience I'll never forget

360 Iquitos experience - This tour was truly amazing. First, it’s not just a market visit. The trip lasts around four hours and includes a city tour, a market visit, and piranha fishing. (Our tour guide, Miguel, even offered to cook the piranhas we caught, but we were so tired after the tour that we decided to relax in a local restaurant instead.) The tour is very well planned and combines history, local traditions, and an overview of modern life. What was especially unusual—but amazing—was that Miguel had everything tourists might need, such as an umbrella, sunscreen, and repellent. He was also very flexible with the schedule. Another thing worth mentioning is Miguel’s English: he speaks fluently and can answer all kinds of questions, which is quite rare, as most people can only follow a script in English. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience. My son and I enjoyed it a lot.
