Iquitos architecture is beautiful and enduring.

Iquitos features lovely old architecture and dozens of different designs of beautiful tile – remnants of the rubber boom (1890’s to 1930’s), when money poured into the city. Now, many of these grand old buildings are in various states of disrepair, but their beauty can still be admired and appreciated. The tile was imported from Portugal and has proven incredibly durable, much of it still perfect after all this time.
