Experience Belen “Super” Market (Mercado de Belen), Iquitos, Peru
One of the great third world markets operates in Iquitos, the Belen “Super” Market (Mercado de Belen). Sprawling for blocks this menagerie of vendors offers everything from tropical jungle fruit to natural remedies for arthritis, baldness and even cancer. Prehistoric fish with lungs, every imaginable part of cows, parrots, coca leaves and turtle eggs are but a few of the offerings to be found in the outdoor market’s stalls. Homes built to float, all the while tethered to large poles to ride out the rainy season is another characteristic of the unique Belen community.
