Lima to Iquitos by air

Book Lima–Iquitos around the arrival plan: airport, hotel and boat departure need to fit together.

What to expect

Booking the flight is the easy part. The useful question is what happens after landing. LATAM markets Lima–Iquitos; check the actual departure, baggage and total fare for your date. Share the flight details with your accommodation or trip organiser before committing to a tight river departure.

How it fits into a journey

For a late arrival, I would sleep in Iquitos first. Have the provider confirm any proposed same-day onward transfer.

Practical answers

Can I connect straight from an international flight?

Compare the full connection, including collecting and rechecking luggage where needed. Pay particular attention to missed connections on separate tickets.

Does the boat leave from the airport?

Do not assume so. Ask for the departure address and who handles transport from the airport.
