Amazon River Flights to Iquitos

Planning your arrival and departure for Iquitos and Explorama's lodges:
Here is a guide to assist you in planning your Iquitos inbound/outbound flights and getting you to and from our lodges. Remember, we access our lodges only by boat and in speedboats we cannot navigate the Amazon in hours of darkness/dusk/pre-dawn due to submerged or floating plants or logs that our boat operators cannot see, so it's necessary to travel in daylight hours.
