Iquitos is the biggest city in the Peruvian Amazon region and has no roads connecting to other cities making it the largest, most isolated city on the continent!
The city can be reached only by airplane or boat, with the exception of a road to Nauta, a small town located 100 km south.
The date of the founding of the city is uncertain, but historical documents affirm that it began as a Spanish reduction established by the Jesuits on the banks of the Nanay River around the year 1757 with the name of “San Pablo de Nuevo Napeanos”.
Iquitos started to grow and thrive through the “rubber boom” at the beginning of the 20th century. The owners of the plantations or rubber barons were rich and built luxurious houses for themselves, which gave the city an inimitable style.
The Monumental Zone of Iquitos contains several Cultural Heritage of the Nation: the Cathedral of Iquitos, the Iron House, the Old Palace Hotel, the Cohen House, the Morey House, and more than 70 buildings. Other well-known landmarks are the Plaza de Armas de Iquitos; El Jirón Próspero, a road that conglomerates several commercial and historical places, and the busy Barrio de Belén, often nicknamed the “Amazonian Venice”. The city is also home to the Amazon Library, one of the two most important in Latin America.
