Canopy Walkway and walks in the jungle

Iquitos, on the banks of the headwaters of the Amazon River, is the most important city in the Peruvian Amazon jungle.

It is advisable to spend some days in one of the different lodges, built in the style of the area, that are found on the banks of tributaries in the jungle. There you`ll be able to visit indigenous tribes, take some walks in the jungle and appreciate the varied flora and fauna of the area.

One of Iquitos`s main attractions is the Canopy Walkway (Hanging Bridges). These are small walks built in the tops of the trees, about 100 feet high, from where you can see the flora and fauna close at hand.

Furthermore, cruise lines sailing various Peruvian jungle rivers as well as cities in Colombia and Brazil, anchor in Iquitos. These vessels all have air-conditioned rooms, private baths, restaurant, open decks, etc.
