Crnl. FAP Francisco Secada Vignetta International Airport (Iquitos) → La Casa del Otorongo, Requena
💡 Arrange through the hotel for a reliable driver. The road is unpaved for the last 30 km; expect dust and potholes. Bring cash as credit cards don't work out here.
Requena port (river dock) → Iquitos Bellavista Nanay port
💡 A scenic alternative to road travel, but only worthwhile if you're heading to Iquitos for the airport. The boat is cramped and open; bring a rain jacket. Not suitable if you're in a hurry – delays are common.
Iquitos Terminal Terrestre → Requena town centre (2 blocks from La Casa del Otorongo)
💡 These are shared minibuses that fill up quickly. Get there by 5:30 AM for the first departure. They drop you at the main plaza; from there it's a short walk to the hotel.
Requena town centre (any point) → La Casa del Otorongo
💡 Cheapest way for the last mile. Look for the three-wheeled moto-taxis with green plates. Tell them 'La Casa del Otorongo' – everyone knows it. Agree the price before getting on.
