"These 2 days touring with Kelwin were not only fantastic but very special. I was a solo traveler & he did everything he could to make me feel welcome in his community. This was an experience I will never forget. And I am so grateful & thankful to Kelwin. Mucho gracias!"
"Kelwin was an incredible guide with a passion for the Amazon. When our original self-guided plans failed, he was quick to respond and help us to experience as much as we could the morning before our flight. We took a boat down the Amazon river to see and interact with various types of animals & learn about the amazing region. After that, we used our last moments to fish for piranhas! He made sure we were back at our hotel exactly when we needed to be and that we felt safe and comfortable the entire trip. Our tour was personalized specifically to us and was the highlight of our stay in Iquitos. ¡Muchas gracias Kelwin!"
"Kelwin was a great tour guide, he showed us everything we wanted to see, and was easy to understand. He went out of his way to extend the tour so that we could add a few destinations instead of doing two different tours, as we were limited for time. He was great at communicating, both verbally and via messages to coordinate our tour. Make sure you contact Kelwin if you would like a great tour guide."
"Had a great time with Kelwin around Belen Market. A very friendly guy with a lot of local knowledge and many good conversations around Iquitos. Belen Market can be done alone but with Kelwin it was a much nicer and in depth experience. Would highly recommend his services."
"I always make time to meet with Kelwin when I am in Iquitos. He is trustworthy, his english is very good, and he knows everything about his home and takes great pride in showing it off. He can take you on a 'touristy' type trip or try for more of a 'local'experience by going to out of the way places--up to you. I'm not sure which tribes I visited but my day trip went to the butterfly and animal sanctuary then an indigenous village, then after lunch two more tribes and a spot of piranha fishing. I loved meeting the locals and see it as a highlight of my trip. I enjoyed dancing with them and took lots of pictures."
"There was a small payment needed to each village for their performances and I bought a souvenir from each one. It was a bit touristy in set up and hard to tell how much the people still live in the thatched buildings we saw/dress in the clothes they wore, but it was within a day trip so not a completely remote or untouched community."
"Kelwin provided the best day trip ever to the jungle, was exactly what I was looking for! Started off with a boat tour along the Amazonian river, got to see indigenous animals as well as taste exotic fruit from the local trees. Took a short hike to see a gigantic (Avatar) tree and much more! Would highly recommend! He is honest and knowledgeable! Do it!"
"Kelwin was awesome! He took me to the Belén market and floating city. His English was very good and he pointed out all the interesting fruit to try and fish and meat types in the market. We took a boat to see the floating cities and then took a walk to see how the people live. I met children and even a monkey! He is very knowledgeable about the area and he helped me find the perfect souvenir to bring home!"
"If you’re in Iquitos, do yourself a favor and contact Kelwin. My wife and I took two tours with him on two separate days; both were unforgettable. He speaks excellent English, knows Belen inside and out, and his prices are very reasonable. He was willing to work with our schedule and was always professional and accommodating. Plus, he’s a really nice guy. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend his tours!"
"Great tour with Kelwin. He gave me a 1hr tour of the river showing me all the interesting place. He has various tours, and is very likeable and super friendly. I wish I had more time for Kelwin was very knowledgeable and a great tour guide. Definitely recommend him and will certainly plan another longer tour when I return to Iquitos."
"Kelwin’s boat tour was recommended by a friend while we were in Iquitos. Our party of 4 booked the tour and I have to say that we were extremely happy that we did. Kelwin was very professional and knowledgeable. He made our ride comfortable and explained all details. We visited several attractions including the animal rescue center. Kelwin offered personal touch to our overall experience. I strongly recommend his tour to anyone. Very good experience!!!!"
"I'm so happy to have met Kelwin. He approached me on the Boulevard of Iquitos, offering a private charter to go anywhere I wanted. As a photographer this was perfect so I can get the shots I needed. Sure, you can take colectivos for cheap to get around, but he offers so much more. He was patient, informative and accommodating. I will most definitely look him up the next time I am back."
"Kelwin is a Very knowledgeable and friendly guide. Perfect tour. Would 10/10 recommend. If you are looking for a safe guide through the Belen market, this is the tour for you!"
"We weren’t even looking for the adventure that we ended up on with Kelwin But after talking to him and checking out his TripAdvisor page we took the chance and it was well worth it he took us to the animal preserve we got to hold anacondas and play with sloths and chat with the local natives I will definitely be recommending family and friends when they come to Iquitos and I recommend anyone looking for something fun and unique to go for it he didn’t even make us pay until our experience was completely over and we were satisfied so thankful for that random beautiful experience looking forward to my next time in Iquitos"
"Kelwin is kind, knowledgeable, super professional, and went out of his way to ensure that I had a safe, remarkable day in Iquitos. We took a boat out onto the Amazon, saw the floating city! He even helped me with translation issues when I had to see a doctor during the day. This guy is amazing, a beautiful soul! everyone in Iquitos knows him and loves him. I highly recommend touring with Kelwin. I can honestly say that after spending a day with him that I’ve made a good friend. Treat yourself to the wonders of Iquitos and the Amazon to a tour (or more) with Kelwin. You’ll be glad you did :)"
"Kelwin was an incredible guide. I would never have understood the city so we'll without him. He brought me on a boat ride where we saw pink and grey dolphins, then to the animal sanctuary where I saw incredible animals of the amazon (who were being nursed back to health) and then he brought me to the local market. My Spanish isn't great so he really helped me to communicate and understand this beautiful place more. Thanks so much Kelwin, please support Kelwin during the challenging days of this epidemic. Forever grateful mi hermano"
"Kelwin is very knowledgeable and a very good guide! It will be a time well spent, it was one of the best tours I had in Iquitos! Highly recommended!"
"Kelwin offered a great boat tour for me. I got to see great sights along the marshes around Iquitos and then out to the Amazon River. Seeing the city from the river gives such a different perspective - you get to see all the industry, all the different ways people live on the river, and really get a different sense than being in the streets. Kelwin's English was great, and he was very gracious in helping me practice my Spanish as well. Kelwin was also very knowledgeable and open about the area - the history and politics of Iquitos, where to go in Belen market, and how to navigate being a tourist in this bustling city. I wish I'd spent more time with him while I was in Iquitos, and certainly will when I return. I would highly recommend Kelwin, and his prices are very fair."
"My father and I visited belen market and a boat tour of floating belen with Kelwin. He was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions! His English is very good. We had a great day. I would highly recommend booking a tour with him."
"If you come to Iquitos see Kelwin! He's a genuine guy and he provides a great service. A boat ride in the Amazon and a visit to an animal shelter. Had a great time"
"We phoned Kelwin last minute as our booking with a different company was canceled. He offered us a 3 hour tour of Serpentario sanctuary and Bora village. He was very knowledgeable, pleasant and helpful. My daughter loved the sanctuary as we could interact with some of the animals. She was thrilled to hug the young sloth and we had some very nice pictures. We also had a chance to dance with the Bora village people as well. Thank you Kelwin for saving our trip to Iquitos and allowing us a chance to make some wonderful memories."
"Kelwin (pronounced "Kelvin"—ask him for the story) took me on a 4 hour tour along some local rivers to see an animal shelter, where they rehabilitate and release animals; to visit an indigenous tribe; and finally to a beach on the river (I didn’t swim because the skies were grey and it started to rain). Along the way, Kelwin was very talkative and informative, and even shared some personal stories about the places we were visiting and even about his own life experiences. Kelwin offers a variety of tours, and if I had more time during my stay, I’d have loved to have taken another with him. Tomorrow I will meet him to visit a local market in the morning."
"Was only in Iquitos for 36 hours. Had not planned a boat tour. Met Kelwin and his price was very reasonable. So, off we went to the rio. We saw multiple dolphins. And, he explained about all the things were we seeing on the trip. He also helped me practice my Spanish which I am grateful for. If you are in Iquitos, definitely find Kelwin."
"A friend and I joined Kelwin for a boat tour, and truly had the greatest day! We saw the true Amazon river in all its glory, visited an animal sanctuary where we fed the largest freshwater fish on the planet, and put forth a good faith effort searching for river dolphins. Kelwin is kind, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. This day was a highlight of our weeks-long Peru trip!!!"
"Kelwin is a first class guide. Very friendly, knows the entire area, and has your safety in mind at all times. Whether you have an hour or a whole day, Kelwin can make a trip to fit your schedule. I have been to Iquitos many times and now make a point of finding Kelwin and taking a little tour. I usually only have a couple hours so we will go to the city markets, Belen, or just cruise around the port(s) in his boat. An extra bonus with Kelwin is that he knows where to get the best empanadas!! Bottom line: if you are going to Iquitos, take a tour with Kelwin."
"Great time had with Kelwin showing us around his part of the Amazon. We didn't speak Spanish so it was reassuring that Kelwin was able to explain clearly to us in English what everything was about. I throughly recommend Kelwin to guide for you if you get to Iquitos."
"Kelwin's Boat Adventure was AMAZING! After walking around the city for a while, my cousin and I weren't too sure about what to do. Next minute we had met Kelvin and were on our way to visit monkeys, alligators, dolphins, turtles, and the best thing of all a big, beautiful and gentle anaconda!!! 110% recommend Kelwin. He was really cool, easy going and fun to talk too. He loves his job and it's great to support the locals!"
"We were completely blown away. It was beyond amazing. Kelwin and his boat captain were friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. He met with us the day before our trip and customized our day-plan with us so that we could go to the places that we wanted to go, do what we wanted to do, and see exactly what we wanted to see. I paid him five months in advance and he showed up on time exactly as we had arranged, so I can vouch for his integrity. He’s a great person and we parted as friends."
