The Belém Floating Stilt House District is the floating residential area for fishermen in Iquitos. Most of the houses here are wooden houses on stilts on the water, built by the water. Most of them have no windows. They are very local in style and are definitely worth a visit.
The Belem Floating Stilt House District is where water ethnic groups live. All the houses here are built on the water. On weekdays, you can take a boat out to the river to visit the dense rainforest. Most of the houses here have no windows and can only be covered with bamboo curtains. There are more mosquitoes at night.
