Cruises from Iquitos

If you’re looking for the best way to experience the Amazonian jungle, then you might consider taking a South American cruise that visits Iquitos, Peru. This colorful remote city is so far-off that you can only access it via air or water! Unlike other major port cities, Iquitos lacks in major attractions and landmarks, but makes up for it with a unique atmospheric culture. You’ll discover many opportunities to experience local life as well as a few remaining relics from the city’s rubber boom. There’s also a handful of museums, local restaurants, animal sanctuaries, and a market district, all of which are worth exploring.

The weather is generally pleasant year-round in Iquitos, so there's not really a "best" time of year to go there as far as the weather goes.
