Getting from Iquitos city center to Iquitos airport

The fastest option is taxi, while budget travelers often choose mototaxi or colectivo.

Iquitos, the largest city in the Peruvian Amazon, is served by Coronel FAP Francisco Secada Vignetta International Airport (IQT), located approximately 7 km southwest of the city center. Because Iquitos is entirely surrounded by jungle and rivers, it has no road connections to the rest of Peru, making the airport the primary gateway in and out of the city. Travelers heading to the airport from the city center can choose from taxis, mototaxis, colectivos (shared minibuses), and private transfers. Journey times are generally short but can vary with traffic conditions. This guide covers the main transport options available for airport transfers from the city center to IQT.
