My name is Gerlo Diaz Rios. I am from the jungle in Iquitos, Peru. This is where the amazon river is born. I was born really far away from the city, in the actual jungle. I decided to learn English by myself and have practiced it for many years. I currently live in Iquitos. So if you want day trips in and around Iquitos, I am the man for you. There are many beautiful things to see in Iquitos, such as Plaza de Armas, Amazon Rescue Center, the Butterfly farm, the Zoo, Tapiche Reserve, the museum, the Cathedral, and so much more. One highlight of iquitos is the Belen area. It is sometimes referred to as the “Venice of Latin America” because the houses are build on stilts or are floating. When the river rises, the floating homes rise with the waters. It is an area that is very interesting but should be visited only with a local guide.Also, I have almost 20 years working as jungle guide for different tourist companies, including my own lodge in the heart of jungle. I have a lot of experience in camping, survival training, long hikes into the jungle, and full adventure. If you want a jungle adventure, I am so ready to give you the best experience with us at the Iguana Lodge & Camp. We can build a custom vacation for your family based on the time you wish to be in the jungle, the activities you wish to do, and the food items you can / cannot eat. Each of our bungalows can accomodate 1 - 4 people and each has a private bathroom. Your party will be assigned your own guide so you can do whichever activities you want to do. The lodge is all inclusive. We provide home cooked, nourishing, and delicious breakfast, lunch, and dinner each day. At the lodge, you can visit the Matses Indian tribe, hike, fish, canoe, boat, view a vast amount of wildlife, see the stars, or just relax.If you need any information about day trips or longer journies into the jungle, please contact me. By doing so, you would have an amazing time while helping us to save our natural jungle culture. Thank you. We are anxious for you to visit.

No roads connect Iquitos to the outside world, leaving it ostensibly stranded in its place amidst the rolling wetlands of the Peruvian Amazon. But the locals don’t seem to mind, as they weave lazily through their web of jungle-shrouded homes to the buzz of mosquitoes – and neither do the tourists – with the isolation of this town affording some of the best wildlife viewing, cultural immersion and natural sightseeing in the country.
With its connection to the waterways that flow down from the Andes all around, it’s hardly surprising that most Iquitos tour guides recommend first-time visitors here kick-start their travels with a jaunt to Belen Market, where floating bamboo shacks showcase a colourful array of earthy local produce. Naturally, this is also the best spot to indulge the palate in a cornucopia of Amazonian foods, sampling the Columbian chilli dishes and local ice cream specialities alike. Afterwards, why not wander down the riverfront through the curious mix of opulent palaces, European mansions and adobe homes left over from Iquitos’ rubber boom, gazing at the intriguing Casa de Fierro and pretty churches along the way?
And once you’ve had your fill of metropolitan life, the Amazon awaits; boasting primeval forest at the Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve, the blooming riverbeds of Tamshiyacu-Tahuayo, tribal encounters with the Matse, wild jungle at Tapiche Ohara and plenty, plenty more.
