Great tour, full of sensory experiences. It was eye-opening for sure . My tour guide José, has been informative and answered all of my questions related to the area and people's daily lives and explained the many different foods you can find in the market. If you have only a few hours, but dont want to be wondering alone and are keen to understand people's lives a little bit better, I would highly recomend this tour. The history of the place, daily joys and troubles, and daily living have been fascinating and, at times, moving to learn. Great experience Thank you

I had an excellent tour today of Belén Market and a short boat ride through Belén Village with José. He was very knowledgeable and gave me detailed explanations that helped me better understand the daily lives of the people in these communities, as well as the cultural importance of the foods and products sold in the market. His insights made what could have been a very busy and overwhelming place feel approachable and interesting. José was also very attentive, always making sure I felt comfortable, and he was happy to answer any questions, which made the experience even more enriching. Thanks to him, I left with a much deeper appreciation of Belén.

In June I traveled with my partner to Iquitos. We first took an Amazon tour with Yakumama and enjoyed it so much that we decided to book the Belén tour for the next day. It was perfect for making the most of our morning, since it lasted about three hours and we had our flight in the afternoon. The experience was fascinating. Yes, the place is a bit dirty, but it’s full of exotic things like turtle and alligator meat, which I dared to try… and they were delicious! I think the best way to visit is with a guide, as it allows you to explore with complete safety. Our guide José was very professional and attentive. He took us through the market, explained everything in detail, and then we took a canoe ride to the lower part of Belén, where we could see the daily life of its residents up close. It was like discovering another side of Iquitos — more real and authentic. Highly recommended.

We took the Belén tour with our guide José, and it was an experience that left us with a lot to remember and reflect on. We visited the famous Pasaje Paquito, where we saw a wide variety of exotic reeds, natural medicines, and intriguing herbal drinks. I couldn’t resist buying and trying one that, according to local tradition, is good for love… let’s hope it works! We then headed to the lower part of Belén. It’s a place that truly impacts you — seeing how people live and survive on the river. I truly hope living conditions improve for them soon. José told us that by booking this tour, we’re also supporting Yakumama and its small NGO in Belén, which helps train local residents to work as guides and improve their livelihoods. We’re very happy we chose this company, not only for José’s excellent service and care, but also because we know that part of what we paid goes back to the local community. An authentic, real, and meaningful experience. We highly recommend it.
