Solo Travel Tips· Confident Solo

Iquitos is the world's largest city unreachable by road — you fly in or arrive by riverboat from Brazil. The Amazon jungle lodges outside the city are extraordinary solo wildlife experiences (book through reputable operators in the city). The Belen floating market is one of the Amazon's most authentic market experiences. The city's frontier character and Manatee rescue centre make for fascinating solo exploration.
