This tour is the perfect introduction to Iquitos. Kelwin picked us up at our hotel and we walked to the Belen market. We tried grilled grubs, sapote , passion fruit, freshly rolled Peruvian cigars and camu camu. The market is a cacophony of colors, smells and sounds. It gives you a peek into the daily lives of the people of Iquitos. We then took a wooden skiff up the river past the floating city where Kelwin lived the majority of his life. We watched people working and children swimming at the riverside. We then went to the medicinal market to look at the various Amazonian remedies and bought a few bracelets to ward off evil spirits. We then picked up 2 tuk-tuks to take us to a different covered boat to see the confluence of the Amazon with the Itaya and watched some dolphins from the boat on our way. Kelwin is an excellent guide, giving you a glimpse into the daily hustle and bustle of Iquitos. Viewing the city from the water, walking its alleyways and speeding down its streets in a tuk-tuk. He also gave us some great local dining recommendations after the tour was over.

My friend and I did a 1 day private tour in Iquitos with Kelwin. He showed us Belen market, took us 2 boat rides, feed Paiche and hugged a sloth… Kelwin is nice and so knowledgeable. He made sure our safety and comfort. At same time, showed us so much. It was such a fun and rewarding day! I recommend Kelwin to anyone who wants to do day tour from Iquitos.

Kelwin provided an excellent tour through the Belen market and community, and several stopping points on the Amazon. He accommodated our needs, answered all of our questions, and provided a very safe and informative experience with an authentic glimpse into the daily lives of the locals. As a local himself, he is a known and respected entity in the community. I highly recommend hiring Kelwin to see the area!

Kelwin gave us an excellent experience and memorable end to our trip. He is thoughtful, knowledgable and showed us the market but as well imparted a feeling of the market, the people of Belen, the area and how the river is part of daily life. This really added to our cultural understanding of the area as well as eye opening to the size of the market and it wares. A true highlight of an amazing trip.
