Iquitos

Iquitos is a major city located in northeastern Peru, nestled within the Amazon rainforest. It’s unique because it’s the largest city in the world that cannot be reached by road, relying instead on river and air transport. Surrounded by dense jungle, Iquitos is a hub for ecotourism and Amazonian culture. It features vibrant markets, diverse wildlife, and serves as a gateway for exploring the rainforest’s rich biodiversity. The city’s remoteness has helped preserve its natural environment and indigenous traditions, making it an important center for both regional commerce and ecological research.
