Iquitos is the gateway to the Amazon, but the real magic happens off the beaten path. At Brisa Tropical Adventures, we craft experiences that are adventurous, unique, and unforgettable. Forget the usual tours, these are the hidden gems of the Amazon that will make your trip truly memorable.



1. Catch Your Own Piranha – and Eat It!


Fishing in the Amazon is thrilling—but piranha fishing in Iquitos takes it to the next level. Feel the adrenaline as you reel in your catch, then savor it fresh, expertly prepared by our chef and served with authentic Peruvian Amazon flavors. As you can see in the photo below, this guest, Dillon A-J, couldn’t get enough—calling it “my new favorite fish to eat!”
