We'll tell it to you straight: there is no better place to stay in Iquitos, either for the exceptional location, high above the banks of the river, or for the chic environs that those who check in enjoy here. There are three categories of accommodations, but we recommend the riverside apartments, on the upper floors gazing out at the river.
The spaces are light and sleek (some apartments have floor-to-ceiling windows) and there is an outside upper terrace with a barbecue. Apartments come with very well-equipped kitchenettes, which make completely shutting yourself off from the city's hectic goings-on a tempting possibility.
