The climate of Iquitos (Peru)
Iquitos is located on the banks of the Amazon River and is the largest city in the tropical rainforest of Peru. The city can only be reached by plane or boat. Many tourists use this city as a starting point for an expedition into the rainforest. Besides tourism the main source of income is forestry, logging and the processing of trees. Iquitos has a tropical rainforest climate with constantly warm temperatures above 22 degrees Celsius on average all year round. Only during heavy rainfall temperatures may slightly drop. Rain falls all year round on a regular basis. Because of the combination of high temperatures and high precipitation figures humidity figures are high as well.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather, extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate information for each month of the year:
