The Largest City You Cannot Drive To

Iquitos has around half a million people and no road connecting it to the outside world — the largest such city on Earth. Everything arrives by river or air. It grew rich on the rubber boom and has the mansions to prove it.

The clock: Iquitos keeps UTC−5. Its Belén district floats, with houses built on rafts that rise and fall several metres with the river.
