Ikitos - Iquitos

Ikitos yilda 380,000 kishilik shahar (2017) Amazonas viloyati Peru. (Buni Chachapoyalar joylashgan Amazonas departamenti bilan aralashtirmang.)

Iquitos sayohatchilar uchun Peruda boshqa joylarda bo'lmagan, Amazon qayiqlarida sayr qilish va yovvoyi tabiatni tomosha qilish kabi ko'plab tadbirlarni taklif etadi. Peruni ko'rishning bir usuli bu 3 ta hududga - Sohil bo'yi, And va Amazonka tashrif buyurishdir va Ikitos - bu Amazonni ko'rishning eng yaxshi usuli.

Ikitos, shuningdek, ekologik muhofaza qilish va yovvoyi tabiatni tomosha qilish uchun eng yaxshi milliy bog'lar va qo'riqxonalar uchun eshikdir. Eng yaxshi zaxiralardan ba'zilari boshqa joylarda uchramaydigan endemik qush turlari bilan mashhur bo'lgan Allpahuayo-Mishana; yuqori Amazon havzasidagi toshqinli o'rmonlarning eng katta yo'li bo'lgan va katta suvli toshbaqalar, jabiru laylaklari va yirik qora kaymanlarni o'z ichiga olgan chuchuk suvli suv hayotining ajoyib turi bo'lgan Pacaya Samiria; va bitta qo'riqxonada (16 turdagi) maymunlar turlarining xilma-xilligi hamda sutemizuvchilar xilma-xilligi bo'yicha dunyo rekordiga ega bo'lgan Area de Conservacion Reserva Comunal Tamshiyacu Tahuayo.

Ikitos butun dunyo bo'ylab qadimgi shamanik o'simliklarni davolash usullariga qiziqqan ko'plab sayohatchilarni jalb qildi. Eng mashhur shamanik dori - Ayaxuaska, bu butun dunyoda tobora ommalashib borayotgan kuchli psixhedel pivosi.

Tushuning

Ikitos - Peruning shimoliy Amazon mintaqasining aksariyat qismini qamrab olgan ulkan Loreto departamentining poytaxti.

Ikitos yil bo'yi tropik iqlimga ega. Aholisi juda xilma-xil: Ikitosda boylikning ko'p davrlari bo'lgan (asosan ikkitasi kauchuk va yog 'bilan), bu dunyo bo'ylab odamlarni olib kelgan va uni Peru Amazonasining eng muhim fluvial portiga aylantirgan. Shaharda o'sha asrda qurilgan ko'plab uylar mavjud. 'Iquiteños' (yoki 'Iquitinos') odatda juda do'stona va bayram qilishni yoqtiradi.

Yo'l bilan borish mumkin bo'lmagan shahar sifatida mototsikllar va mototaksislar hech qaerdan farqli o'laroq hukmronlik qilmoqda. Boshqa natijalar orasida juda suyuq (agar tartibsiz bo'lsa) tirbandlik, mototsikllar e'lonlari va ta'mirlash ustaxonalari ustunligi va siz xarid qilayotganingizda mototsiklingizni himoya qilishga rozi bo'lgan odamlar (hatto kartonni kun davomida sovishini ta'minlash uchun o'rindiqqa qo'yish) ).

Geografiya va iqlim

Dengiz sathidan balandlik taxminan 106 m (348 fut) ga teng.

Eng uzun kun va eng qisqa kun o'rtasidagi vaqt farqi atigi 18 daqiqani tashkil qiladi.

Daryoning suv sathi yiliga 12 metrgacha o'zgarib turadi, bu esa And tog'larining sharqiy yon bag'irlarida yog'ingarchilik va qorlarning erishi natijasida yuzaga keladi.

Chiqinglar

Ikitos keng tarqalgan bo'lib, avtomobil yo'li bilan erishib bo'lmaydigan eng yirik kontinental shahar hisoblanadi. Bu samolyotlar va qayiqlarni odamlar va ta'minot uchun kirish va chiqishning asosiy vositasi sifatida qoldiradi.

G'arbiy dunyoning barcha tuzoqlari bo'lgan shaharni ko'rishni kutmang. Bu shahar juda oddiy, chunki u dunyo bilan hech qanday aloqaga ega emas. Avtotransport vositalari eskirgan va arzimagan yo'llardagi transport vositalarining aksariyati motokarorlar yoki uchta g'ildirakli mototsikl, ular uchtasini bir chimdikda ko'tarishi mumkin. Aeroportda taksi haydovchilaridan o'tib ketganingizdan so'ng, odamlar do'stona munosabatda bo'lishadi

Samolyotda

• -3.784722-73.3086111 Koronel FAP Francisco Secada Vignetta xalqaro aeroporti (IQT ^IATA). Ikitosga poytaxtdan ko'plab reyslar mavjud Lima. LATAM kuniga 4 dan 5 martagacha uchadi. Yulduzli Peru biroz arzonroq narxlarni taklif qilishi mumkin, ammo to'xtash joyi to'xtaydi Tarapoto yoki Pucallpa yonilg'i quyish va yo'lovchilarni tashish va olib ketish yo'lida. Tarapotodagi to'xtash ko'pincha bir necha soatga kechikishga olib keladi. Avianca shuningdek, Ikitosga xizmat ko'rsatmoqda. Reyslar mavsumga va aktsiyalarga qarab 55-200 AQSh dollarini tashkil etadi. Arzon chiptalarni olish uchun barcha aviakompaniyalarda narxlarni oldindan tekshirib ko'ring. Mahalliy aviakompaniyalardagi narxlar ko'pincha Perudan sotib olayotganda (yoki VPN-dan foydalanishda) arzonroq. Aeroportga etib borganingizda, terminaldan chiqishdan oldin Peru sayyohlik kengashining (PromPerú) rasmiy iPeru, Tourist Information and Assistance Office-da to'xtashni o'ylab ko'ring. Siz bepul xarita va risolani (reklamasiz!), Turistik provayderlar ro'yxatini, nimalarni ko'rish va nima qilish kerakligi va xavfsizlik bo'yicha tavsiyalarni olishingiz mumkin. Peru bo'ylab muammolar va shikoyatlar bo'lsa, ular sizga yordam berishi mumkin. Ularning ro'yxatlari keng, ammo keng qamrovli emas, chunki ro'yxatga olish uchun korxonalar to'lashlari kerak.  

Aeroportdan chiqishda bir nechta mototaksis va shaharga boradigan narxingizni yutib olishni kutayotgan bir nechta mashina bo'ladi. Shahar markaziga mototaksi uchun o'rtacha narx S / 10, avtomobil uchun esa S / 20. Ko'plab mototaksi haydovchilari komissiya olganliklari sababli sizni so'ragan joyingizdan boshqa joyga olib kelishga harakat qilishlari mumkin. Kelishingizdan oldin turar joyingiz bilan bog'laning va safar qancha davom etishi kerakligi yoki aeroportni xususiy qabul qilishni tashkil qilish to'g'risida tasavvurga ega bo'ling. Ba'zi mehmonxonalar xona narxiga aeroportni qabul qilishni o'z ichiga oladi.

Qayiqda

Iquitosga Amazon daryosidagi istalgan navigatsiya portidan qayiqda borish mumkin. Qayiqlarning narxi masofaga, qayiqning tezligiga, yo'lovchilar soniga va sizning savdolashish qobiliyatingizga bog'liq bo'ladi.

Koka, Ekvador - Ikitos

Fransisko de Orellanadan sayohat (Koka), Ekvador - Ikitos yo'nalish bo'ylab harakatlanadigan uchta sekin yuk kemalaridan birida 8 kun davom etadi. Ushbu ekspeditsiya bo'ylab 1140 km Napo daryosi va Amazon daryosi. Napo daryosi - qudratli Amazonning eng muhim irmoqlaridan biri. Napo manbai Kotopaksi va Antisana vulqanlaridan oqib tushadigan kichik ariqlardan kelib chiqadi. Odatda har 10 kunda atigi 1 ta yuk kemasi bor, lekin ular yuk to'la bo'lganda tartibsiz jadvallar asosida jo'nab ketishadi.

Shuningdek, Kokadan Nuevo-Rokafuertaga (15 AQSh dollari, 10 soat) tezroq qayiqlarni olib o'tish imkoniyati mavjud, keyin Ekvadordan chiqib ketgandan so'ng Pantojaga chegarani kesib o'tib (rejali xizmat ko'rsatilmaydi, siz savdolashishingiz kerak). 2 bor rapido (tezyurar qayiqlar) haftada Pantoja va Mazan o'rtasida, Ikitosdan mototaksi va tezyurar qayiqda 45 daqiqada daryoda katta burilishdan oldin kichik qishloq. Ushbu tezyurarlar Pantojadan Mozangacha 2 kun davom etadi va Santo Klotilde yarim kechasida tunda to'xtaydi. Qayiqlar Mazanning Amazon portidan 5-10 daqiqalik mototaksi (S / 5) - 40 minut tez yuradigan qayiq (S / 15) yoki Ikitosdan 2½ soatlik sekin qayiq (S / 7). Flyuvial Vichu, (☏ 51 965-800-468 Mazan idorasi) Pantojadan dushanba kuni jo'nab ketadi, transport esa Rapido Llorlli (☏ 51 947 527 193 yoki ☏ 51 968 299 850, [email protected]) jo'nash seshanba kuni soat 10:00 da. Ikkalasi ham S / 200 turadi.

Yurimaguas, Peru - Ikitos

Yurimaguas Ikitosga kunlik yuk kemalari qatnovi bor, ular kelish uchun 2-2 kunni oladi (yakshanba kunlari yoki ta'tildan tashqari). Yurimaguasga etib borish ahamiyatsiz, chunki uning aeroportida endi reyslar bo'lmaydi. Yurimaguas avtobusda 3 soat Tarapoto.

Yurimaguasni olish uchun avval Lima Peru va LAN orqali Limadan har kuni reyslar amalga oshiradigan yirik shahar Tarapotoni olishingiz kerak. Tarapotoni avtobus orqali olishingiz mumkin Lima (taxminan 24 soat) yoki Chiclayo shimoliy Peruda (taxminan 12 soat). Ekvadorning Loja shahridan Peru shahridagi Pedro Ruiz shahriga avtobusda borishingiz mumkin, u erga borishingiz mumkin Chachapoyalar yoki Tarapoto.

Pucallpa, Peru - Ikitos

Pucallpa Ikitosga kunlik yuk kemalari qatnovi bor, ular kelishi uchun taxminan 4 kun vaqt ketadi (yakshanba yoki ta'tildan tashqari). Pucallpa'ni Lima shahridan Star Peruda yoki avtobusda kunlik parvozlardan olishingiz mumkin (20 soat).

Peru / Kolumbiya / Braziliya Ikitos bilan chegaradosh

Agar Ikitosdan Amazonka bo'ylab davom etsangiz, daryoning Perudan chiqib ketadigan nuqtasi Braziliya va Kolumbiya chegaralarida joylashgan.

Tabatinga (Braziliya) yoki Letisiya (Kolumbiya) dushanbadan shanbagacha yuk tashish kemalari Ikitosga uch kun davom etadi. Shuning uchun siz tezyurar qayiqlarni seshanbadan yakshanbagacha tanlashingiz mumkin, sayohat 9 - 10 soat davom etadi (65 AQSh dollari).

Atrofga boring

Shahar atrofida harakatlanishning eng keng tarqalgan usuli bu motokar (yoki mototaksi), orqa qismida rikshavaga o'xshash kichik yo'lovchi kabinasi bo'lgan mototsikl. Doimiy taksilar ham mavjud, ammo motokarorlarning issiqligi va mavjudligi motokarda borishni maslahat beradi. Ba'zan S / 2.5-3 safari shunchaki shabada uchun qimmatga tushadi. Shahar bo'ylab borishni xohlagan joylarning aksariyati S / 2.5 ga teng, ammo uzoqroq joylar (masalan, Plaza de Armasdan Belengacha) odatda S / 3 yoki undan ko'p turadi (Fevral 2018) Haydovchilar ko'pincha pullarini ular sizni olib boradigan mehmonxonalardan qaytarib olish.

Shaharda mototaksisning qanchalik mavjud va keng tarqalganligini ta'kidlash qiyin. Shahar markaziga yaqin joyda biron bir daqiqada sizni ko'chada 2 yoki 3 bo'sh mototaksis o'tishi odatiy holdir. Haydovchi sizni haydashga qiziqishingizga umid qilib, siz bilan ko'z aloqasini o'rnatadi. Barcha mototaksislar haydash sifati jihatidan bir xil emas; katta yoshdagilar mototsikl tebranishini yo'lovchilar saloniga o'tkazishga moyil bo'lishadi, yangi va yaxshilanganlari esa bo'lmaydi. Mototaksi olayotganda, yangi ko'rinishga ega bo'lish uchun uzoqroq sayr qilish qulay bo'lishi mumkin.

Agar siz iqtisodiy jihatdan fikrli bo'lsangiz, motokarrolar iqtisodiyoti haqida ma'lumot olish qiziqarli bo'lishi mumkin. 2010 yil may oyidan boshlab haydovchilar taksilarini soatiga S / 10 yoki S / 25-30 ga ijaraga olishlari odatiy holdir.

Ko'plab mototaksistalar (mototaksi boshqaradiganlar) ajoyib shahar qo'llanmalarini yaratadilar. Mototaksistalar nihoyatda samimiy va xushmuomalali, aslida ular yo'lovchiga ega bo'lishga intiluvchan va hatto tajovuzkor. Shunday qilib, sayyohlar Ikitosda tinchlikdan bahramand bo'lishlari mumkin, o'tirganingizda va ovqatlanayotganingizda sizdan minishni so'ragan taksi haydovchisidan minmang.

Aeroportdan chiqishda taksichilar sizga juda tajovuzkorona murojaat qilishadi (bu taksi haydovchisining tajovuzkorligi uchun maqbulroq joy.) Aeroportdan shahar markazigacha bo'lgan masofa Iquitos maydonining kattaligiga nisbatan ancha uzoqdir. , va narxlar S / 10 (Fevral 2018) da belgilanadi, ammo arzonroq narx bo'yicha muzokara olib borish mumkin. Kimdir arzonroq narx taklif qilsa, ehtimol sizni to'laydigan mehmonxonaga yoki yotoqxonaga olib borishga harakat qiladi; agar sizda allaqachon mehmonxona bor bo'lsa, qat'iy turing va ular sizni u erga olib borishadi.

Qarang

Daryo qirg'og'i Plaza de Armasdan faqat bitta blokda joylashgan. Kam suvli mavsumda u orqaga chekinadi va shu bilan dahshatli ko'rinmaydi. Dengiz bo'yidagi piyoda yurish, shuningdek, mahalliy litsey o'quvchilari kanodlega boradigan joy bo'lib tuyuladi, shuning uchun sayr qilsangiz, bularning ko'pini ko'rishga tayyor bo'ling. Anakonda markazi deb nomlangan piyoda piyozning pastki qismida biroz katta hunarmandchilik bozori mavjud.

Plaza de Armas asosan zamonaviy va kauchuk boom uslublarining aralashmasidir. O'sha asrda Ikitos kabi shaharlar uzoq vaqtga aylanib ketishdi, u erda hech qanday mablag 'tejalmadi, ekssentriklik va hashamat etishmadi. Ushbu kauchuk boom davrining merosining bir qismi sifatida, Ikitosda hali ham rezina baronlarning g'ayrioddiy ta'mi izlari saqlanib kelmoqda: italyancha uslubdagi saroylardagi mozaik plitalar, shov-shuvli daryo bo'yidagi o'tish joyi yoki Gustave Eyfel tomonidan ishlab chiqarilgan taniqli turar-joy metall plitalardan qurilgan. Uni yuzlab odamlar o'rmon orqali olib o'tishgan. Bir nechta ko'cha ijrochilari, favvoralar, ba'zi haykallar va bitta katolik cherkovi mavjud. Shanba kuni kechqurun juda band.

Bugungi kunda Ikitos shahrida kamtarona mahalliy uylar - ma'lum bir kitsch jozibasi bo'lmagan holda - bugungi kunda asosan davlat idoralari sifatida foydalaniladigan frantsuz qasrlari bilan bir qatorda mavjud. Mamlakatdan kauchuk urug'lar olib o'tilganda, rezina sanoati Malayziyaga ko'chib o'tdi, bu esa kauchuk baronlarning tugaganligini anglatadi. Ushbu o'tmish xotirasi mo'l-ko'lchilik bilan to'ldirilgan, ammo eksantrik binolarda yashaydi, bu esa quvnoq va vahshiy davr haqida dalolat beradi.

• O'rmon sayohatlari. O'rmonlarga sayohat Iquitosga tashrif buyurishning asosiy sababidir, chunki u Amazonka sayohat qilish uchun boshlang'ich nuqtasi bo'lib xizmat qiladi. Bir kunlik yoki ko'p kunlik sayohatlarni bron qilish mumkin. Masalan, Amazonda Dawn (Malekondagi ofis, xuddi shu nomdagi kafe yonida) kunlik sayohatlarni bir kishiga 85 AQSh dollaridan taklif qiladi (2018 yil fevral). Siz qayiqqa olib chiqilgansiz va maymunlar, alligatorlar, ulkan nilufar yostiqchalar, bolalar kaimanlari (xuddi shunga o'xshash mini-alligatorlar), anakondalar, boas, tarantulalar va boshqa hayvonot dunyosini ko'rishingiz mumkin.
  Sizning taksi haydovchingiz yoki mehmonxona konsiyerjingiz siz uchun sayohatchiga murojaat qilishdan mamnun bo'ladi, chunki ular yo'llanmani qaytarib olishadi. Biroq, ushbu kickback referal tizimidan foydalanib, sizga eng yuqori narx va eng past xizmat kafolatlanadi. Bundan tashqari, Iquitosda rasmiy sayyohlik assotsiatsiyalari mavjud emas, shuning uchun hech qachon ko'cha yo'lovchilari yoki frilanserlar uchun qo'llanmalarga e'tibor bermang; eng yaxshisi, ular qimmat, eng yomoni esa buzuq va xavfli.

• Ayaxuaska. Ayaxuaska - bu mahalliy o'simliklardan tayyorlanadigan kuchli psixhedel pivosi. Shamanlar ming yillar davomida o'simliklarni davolash usullarining bir qismi sifatida Ayaxuaskadan foydalanib kelmoqdalar. Ayaxuaska an'anaviy tibbiyot deb hisoblanadi va Peruda qonuniy hisoblanadi. U butun dunyoda mashhur bo'lib kelmoqda va "Ayaxuas poytaxti" hisoblangan Ikitosga tobora ko'proq odamlarni jalb qilmoqda. Ayaxuaskaning ko'plab foydalanuvchilari dori-darmonlarni qabul qilishdan keyin hayotni o'zgartiradigan tajribalar haqida xabar berishdi.
  Ikitosdagi o'rmon sayohatlarining aksariyat provayderlari o'zlarining o'rmon uylarida Ayaxuaska marosimlarini odam boshiga 50-100 AQSh dollaridan qo'shimcha haq evaziga taklif qilishadi. Mahalliy shamanlar, odatda, soat 20:00 atrofida boshlanib, yarim tunda tugaydigan tungi marosimlarni o'tkazadilar. Marosimning sifati va ta'siri shamanning tajribasiga, Ayaxuaska ichimliklar sifatiga va Ayahuasca foydalanuvchisining "sozlash va sozlash" ga bog'liq. Shamanlar Ayaxuasadagi tajribaga kirishishdan oldin Ayaxuaska deb atalmish parhezga rioya qilishni tavsiya qiladilar (tuzsiz, shakarsiz, yog'siz, alkogolsiz, jinsiy aloqasiz).
  Ayaxuaskaning yanada rivojlangan markazlari o'rmon o'rmonlarida har tomonlama, to'liq xizmat ko'rsatuvchi Ayaxuaska marosimlarini taklif etadi. Odamlar odatda Ayaxuaska chekinish joyida 7 kun va undan ko'proq vaqt davomida haftalik stavkalarda 750 AQSh dollaridan boshlanadi, bir nechta Ayaxuaska marosimlarida qatnashish imkoniyati mavjud. Bitta marosimdagi odamlar soni chekinishga qarab o'zgaradi va 5 dan 25 kishigacha. Agar siz Ayaxuaskani o'rganishga chindan ham qiziqsangiz, maxsus Ayaxuaska chekinish joyida 7 yoki 10 kunlik turar joyni bron qilishingiz kerak. Har qanday psixoetikada bo'lgani kabi, ichishdan oldin Ayaxuaska va uning xatarlari to'g'risida o'zingizga xabar bering. (yangilangan avgust 2017)

Iltimos, biron bir hayvon sotib olishdan yoki yalqovlar bilan selfi suratga tushishdan saqlaning. Ko'p odamlar, aslida hayvonni qutqaramiz deb o'ylashadi, ular boshqa hayvonni yovvoyi tabiatdan olib kelishlariga yo'l qo'yishadi. Shuningdek, Ikitosga yaqin bo'lgan "hind qabilalari" maymun orolining bir nechta versiyalari singari turistik tuzoqdir. Agar siz yaxshi yovvoyi hayotni va daryo va yomg'ir o'rmonida yashaydigan haqiqiy odamlarni ko'rishni istasangiz, shahar ta'siridan 64 mildan (64 km) ko'proq chiqib ketishingiz kerak.

Party and nightlife

If you want to party, there are dance clubs all over the city. All Iquiteños love to party in their own way. That's non-stop partying all year round!. Oftentimes clubs will not let men in if they are wearing sandals or unbuttoned shirts.

Renting a vehicle

Renting a motorcycle and driving around the city and out towards the airport is a cheap and an exhilarating way to experience Iquitos and the surrounding area. Only do so if (1) you are an experienced motorcycle driver, and (2) you can handle the manic traffic. A nice drive is to Nauta about 90 km away from Iquitos (pass the airport) on a nice calm road through the jungle. The police have been known to target foreign-looking drivers, since they can often pay larger bribes. One way the police make extra money is to stand by the side of the road and flag over most everyone who drives by. The ones who do pull over will often pay a small fee for the privilege (perhaps to help the police "fix the crack in their windshield.") If you can tell that no one will come after you if don't pull over, consider pretending not to see them and continuing to drive on.

Sotib oling

The floating market, known as Belén, is on the embankment in Iquitos.Over 150 native communities from upriver come down here to sell their produce in the market. Belen is the hub of every village within miles, chaotic, flavorful, practical and superstitious, thriving on and above a strip of land that is seasonally flooded. For a series of photo-essays on Belen, check out the Belen Street Market, Pasaje Paquito (if you want to buy exotic drinks this is The place), and Floating in Belen.If you want to buy crafts, you can go to the San Juan crafts market.

Be careful as there are many thieves and pickpockets in this market. Take extreme caution, don't carry valuables in har qanday outwardly accessible pockets, and dress down so you are not an obvious target. Consider striking up conversations with police as you walk through, to make yourself even less attractive. (Though many of the police can be corrupt, they also like helping tourists out.)

The area is often patrolled by police, but many are corrupt. Police may even offer to escort you through more dangerous and illegal sections of the market where rare and endangered species are traded. The police are the ones who should be shutting those sections down, but many have discovered how to profit from them instead--if they don't ask you for a tip or charge a fee for their services, they receive a kickback from the illegal animal vendors. To stay safe and prevent further crimes against nature, do not accept these kinds of deals with the police or any other guidshop

Many souvenirs in local markets and shops are manufactured from endangered species; buying such items subsidizes the continuing destruction of ecological communities in local habitats. Necklaces made from jaguar and black caiman teeth are often offered for sale, as are bracelets and other ornaments made from spotted cat skins. Other items seen in riverside tourist shops include the heads and feet of harpy eagles, the claws of giant anteaters, and jaguar skulls. All items like these are illegal to own, to export from Peru, and to import into the USA and the European Union. Shop ethically (and stay out of trouble)!

It is possible to buy a wide variety of new and used boats at the waterfront. Types and conditions vary widely but include dugouts, canoes, and small fishing boats - suitable for travelling down river.

Yemoq

If you are new to Iquitos and the Amazon, you are in for a real treat. The food in Iquitos is excellent. It is an exotic blend of Peruvian, Brazilian, and Colombian food with influences from the Andes and the Pacific Coast. Try the 'juane' and the 'tacacho'. If you want something cold (most likely you will need it because of the heat) there are excellent 'heladerias' (ice cream shops) like Shambo (the main Shambo is in Grau avenue, close to 28 de Julio Square, and the second in the corner of Huallaga St. and Morona St.), Giornata in Plaza de Armas, and La Favorita in Prospero St.

• Amazon Bistro - Malecón Tarapaca #268. At one block from the main square, in front of the river, a French old-style brasserie opened from 6AM to midnight. An excellent alternative to eat or to enjoy a drink thanks to the unique offers in town - real espresso, homemade bread, Argentinean steaks, Belgian beers, escargots, Belgian chocolate desert. Live music on Friday and Saturday nights.
• Dawn on the Amazon - easy to find at the end of the boulevard on the corner of Nauta is the place to go to eat and meet. The food is excellent, it is right on the end of the boulevard with a beautiful view and it is the center to find out where to go in Iquitos. All the expats congregate each evening full of suggestions and great conversation. Live music and lively conversation. Open at 07:00 and closes at 22:00.
• Huasai Restaurant, easy to find, half a block northwest of the Plaza de Armas, at Fitzcarrald # 131. One of the best values in Iquitos for lunch. US$2.50 includes a pitcher of tropical fruit juice. It is very popular with local business people.
• Kikiriki, easy to find at Napo # 159, one block north of the Plaza de Armas, away from the river. Good for chicken and anticucho, good value for around US$2. Opens at 18:00.

Visitors beware:

• Do not eat endangered species. Some locals do so as tradition, but many "guides" (pseudo-guides) and restaurants will offer you to taste caiman, majás, turtles, deer and other "carne de monte" (wild meat). Breeding farms for these species do not exist, so these animals come from natural environments.

Ichish

Try tropical fruit juices, like Cocona. Pineapple in the Amazon region is quite different to the one found in the rest of Peru, and makes really good juices. Aguaje and ungurahui are also a good choice: you can try everything in the entrance of the Upper Belen central market. You can try also native alcoholic drinks (some of them reputedly aphrodisiac). Pasaje Paquito is the best place to buy them.

• Para Para (Up and up) made with honey.
• Aguajina, sweet beverage made with aguaje pulp.
• Masato- a traditional fermented beverage made with yuca.

Uyqu

Reasonable places can be found for around US$25 per night, including air conditioning (important and very welcome in the brutal heat of the tropical environment) and a private bathroom. If you are staying in Iquitos and are not enjoying yourself, consider splurging for a room with A/C, as it can make the difference between a good trip and a great one.

Given the louder-than-average noise of traffic, ask for a room away from the street.

Stay healthy

The main danger in the jungle surrounding Iquitos is the same as any tropical zone: malaria. There is very little malaria in the city, but it is common outside the city in the jungle. You should get anti-malaria pills from a doctor before your visit. Malarone (if that's what you've been prescribed) should be taken two days before arrival and 7 days after leaving. Bug repellent can be purchased in pharmacies anywhere in Peru and should be applied liberally whenever going out, and especially if taking an Amazon tour.

Yellow fever vaccine is also recommended.

Keyingisi

A next stop places are by the west: Yurimaguas, Tarapoto (offers one of the widest variety of orchids and butterflies in the world), Chachapoyas (pre-incan ruins and mummies, the tallest waterfall in Peru and the third in the world, sarcophagi and more), Chiclayo (pre-incan ruins, pyramids and museums) and Trujillo (offers pre-incan ruins as the second largest adobe city in the world, join with beautiful beaches as Huanchaco and Chicama, where is located the longest left wave in the world. Ideal places to surf). It is a beautiful route, you will go through the Amazon jungle, the Andes and the Pacific coast plenty with beautiful landscapes and activities. The route from Iquitos to Chiclayo has 60% of bird species in Peru (more than 1200 species). Peru is the second richest country in birds, with only 20 species fewer than Colombia.

From Chiclayo or Trujillo you may take route to the beautiful beaches on the north Peru (Mancora, Pocitas and others located in Piura and Tumbes) or visit the mangrove swamp in Tumbes before to get Ecuador or take route to the south and visit Huaraz (the Cordillera Blanca is here, it is one of the best places in the world to perform a trekking), Lima (offers the best food in the Americas, trips to the islands to see sea wolfs and penguins, museums and pre-incan ruins as Caral, the oldest civilization in the Americas), Ica (the Nazca Lines and Paracas Reserve are here) and the places located in the south of Peru: Arequipa, Ayacucho, Puno (the Titicaca lake) and Cusco.

Other options is travel upstream the Amazon river to the south to get Pucallpa (it takes from 4 to 5 days). From Pucallpa there is a highway to Lima and the Andes. If you want to get Cusco avoiding Lima, you may choose the route Pucallpa-Tingo María-Huanuco-Huancayo-Ayacucho-Abancay-Cusco.

If you travel downstream the Amazon river to the East to get Colombia and Brazil. In this route you may stop in Pevas (there is a remarkable Art Gallery here), San Pablo (this is the place where the famous "Che" Guevara stayed as a volunteer) and Caballococha (a town surrounded by beautiful lagoons plenty of pink and grey river dolphins).

If you want to travel upstream the Rio Napo towards Ecuador you first have to take a boat down the river to Mazan. Just ask for Mazan, they will tell you which port to go. At final stop of the speedboat, on the bank of the Amazonas you have two choices. Either you walk to Mazan, which lies on the bank of the river Napo on the "other side" or take a Tuktuk. Tuktuk will take around 10 minutes and walking around 45 which is quite pleasant, as there are no cars around.

One traveler in March 2018 reports two boats departing per week in the morning: one on Thursday, and one on Saturday. You should check it when you are there, so do not do it in a hurry. Depending on the season, and thus the condition of the river, there may be delays. In March, this was not an issue and, with three overnight stays, it took four days to arrive in Coca.
