This church is nice and worth the time to stop by and look at the artwork. The people at the church service were very freindly.

During the day, there aren't many people on the plaza. However, at night, families come out and there are local vendors selling everything from food to small toys for children. We saw musicians and families enjoying the fresh evening air. There are tons of toursit police, so you always feel safe. Strolling the plaza is a perfect evening activity as it's close to the boardwalk for a nice romantic view of the sunset over the river!

Perhaps the best place in Iquitos to know the local food, plants, fruits, fish and a lot of other stuff usually sold in a genuine Amazonian market.

A trip to Belen is best by boat with a local guide. We went with Kelwin from Kelwin Boat Adventure (has a Trip Advisor Page). He lives there so knows it well. Belen is comprised of floating houses or houses built on stilts in the river. There are also schools, churches, stores and gas stations all built in the river. It is very interesting and provides many photo opportunities. At the same time it is important to recognize that this community very underprivileged. After touring around on the boat it will let you and your guide off at the Belen Market.This is a large market with exciting displays of produce, fish, jungle specialties and indigenous medicines. All in all a great 3-4 hour adventure best done with a guide.

What a pleasure to be back on the balcony of La Casa de Fiero for dinner after an interval of 20 years, all thanks to the new owners of the restaurant here. Everything was tiptop and precisely as we might have hoped. Thank you to Rolly our waiter. Great presentation, and the postre was to die for. With patience the customers will surely return as the good news spreads, of that I am sure. As for myself, can’t wait for the opportunity to dine here again, overlooking the vibrant Plaza de Armas imbibing a slice of history from the era of the caucheros. Thank you Iriana for your vision.
