Venue/Iquitos
- Located on the banks of the Amazon River, about 1,000 km northeast of Lima, Iquitos is the main port, and the largest city (population approx. 500,000), in the Peruvian jungle. Present-day Iquitos has evolved from a village populated mainly by indigenous tribes, through an explosion in population and prosperity during the early 20th century rubber boom, to a charming modern city that retains its cultural roots. Opportunities for tourism abound in the vast Amazon basin, 80% of which is covered by tropical rainforest. Options range from day trips visiting the formation of the Amazon River about 120 km upstream from Iquitos, to interactions with local communities, to overnight stays in lodges, to longer expeditions exploring national reserves both within Peru and neighboring countries. Visit the Peruvian government tourism site for information in multiple languages: www.peru.travel/en.
