A propriedade — lumar
The Lumar is a no-fuss 3-star in a converted house near the waterfront, with a small tiled pool, a basic restaurant, and rooms that are clean but dated. It feels like a well-run family guesthouse: functional air conditioning, reliable hot water, and a terrace where you can watch street life pass by. The crowd is practical – backpackers who have splashed out slightly, or couples wanting a safe base for jungle trips. You’re not here for charm; you’re here for a solid sleep and a decent breakfast before heading to the river.
Crónicas de Iquitos
Iquitos was a rubber-boom city that exploded in the late 19th century, leaving a legacy of extravagant Art Nouveau buildings tiled with Portuguese azulejos – the iron house designed by Gustave Eiffel is a local landmark. When the rubber trade collapsed, the city shrank, but the river port kept it alive as a trade hub and launch point for Amazon expeditions. Today it’s the world’s largest city unreachable by road; everything arrives by river or air. Culturally, it’s a blend of indigenous, mestizo, and a fading European influence, with a lively Belén market and music that mixes cumbia with rainforest rhythms. The old town still bears the gilded, peeling remains of its boom-era confidence.

Guia completo de Iquitos →Melhores meses
June to August: peak dry season with low water and stable sun, good for jungle treks and spotting pink river dolphins. Crowds are moderate, and prices at the Lumar hold steady.
Peak / Festival Surge
July is the busiest month because of school holidays worldwide; the city swells with tourists and the price at Lumar can jump 30%, especially if you book late. The main event is the Feast of the Virgen of Carmen (16 July), a river procession in Belén.
Orçamento da temporada
September and October: the dry season continues into early September but crowds thin. Prices at Lumar drop 15-20%, the water is still low enough for good trails, and humidity is slightly lower.
Tempo e embalagem
Iquitos is hot and humid year-round, but the dry season (June–August) still brings brief tropical downpours. Pack a lightweight, quick-dry jacket and always carry a small waterproof cover for your electronics.
Livro City Briefing — Iquitos
- The Belén floating market has reopened after a renovation, but access via the main stairway is still blocked; enter from the side street off Avenida La Marina.
- A new direct boat service from Leticia, Colombia, now runs three times a week, cutting travel time to 8 hours – ideal for cross-border travellers.
- The city’s main pier, Embarcadero, is partially closed for construction until August 2026; check with your tour operator for alternative departure points.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to lumar, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the third or fourth floor at the back of the building (facing away from the street). These floors are high enough to avoid ground-level street noise but low enough to be reachable quickly if the lift is busy. The rear side overlooks the internal courtyard, which is quieter than the street side.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms, especially those near the reception, restaurant, or the lift lobby. Street-facing rooms on floors 1–2 will pick up motorbike and foot traffic noise from Iquitos’s busy road. Also skip rooms adjacent to the lift shaft on any floor – the old lift can be clunky and audible.
Best views
From rear-side rooms on floors 3–4 you get a pleasant view over the courtyard and surrounding tile roofs, with maybe a glimpse of the Itaya River in the distance. Street-side rooms look onto a main road – not charming.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are the quietest, as they sit above the ground-level bustle yet are not so high that they’re exposed to roof noise from air-con units or rooftop bar conversations (if present).
🔊 Noise notes
Iquitos is a bustling Amazonian city with motorbike taxis, tuk-tuks, and lively street markets. The hotel sits on Malecón Tarapacá, a main thoroughfare along the river, so street-facing rooms get heavy traffic noise from early morning until late evening. Lift doors and guest chatter in the lobby also ripple through the building. The hotel lacks double-glazing; old wooden-framed windows let all noise in.
Insider tips
If you arrive by mototaxi, ask the driver to drop you at the side entrance on Jirón Sargento Lores – it’s quieter and closer to the lift. At check-in, politely request a top-floor back room; they often hold these for late-arriving guests but will assign one if you ask early. Also, bring earplugs – even in a ‘quiet’ room the Amazon’s dawn chorus can be startling.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Principais atrações em Iquitos
💡 Try a 'helado de aguaje' (local fruit ice cream) from the stalls – it's cheap and tastes like a tropical sorbet. Best visited after 5pm when it's cooler.
💡 Walk the full stretch from the Clock Tower to the old Hotel de Turistas. The street food stalls sell fresh fruit juices for 2-3 soles.
💡 Free entrance but you need to sign in with your passport at reception. Allow 45 minutes. No English labels, so bring a translation app or guidebook.
💡 Check out the Casa de Fierro on the corner — an iron house designed by Gustave Eiffel. Free to admire from outside.
💡 Go early (6am-8am) to avoid heat and crowds. Keep valuables hidden; bag snatching happens in tight aisles. A boat tour costs around 15-20 soles per person.
