Iquitos Travel Blogs

I went to Iquitos in order to attend to a business course. Anyway, I could spend a free Sunday just before going back home. My flight was scheduled at 9am, but a friend who lives there offered to show me around Iquitos. He asked me, what are you gonna do in Lima? Mmm, he was right. I had no plans.…

Hi friends, I am back in Iquitos Peru. Sorry I haven't posted here lately. I do better when I can obsess on one or two problems. I have been working on too many problems. I had to decide which were most important and work on those. This blog suffered.  Now I want to report what my crew and I h…

Last day!  Today we were assured that we'd be covering the shortest leg and that it wasn't nearly as far to the finish line at Bellavista-Nanay port.  Since the information came from the recreation director, the Peruvian that had been the most helpful all along, I was more inclined to bel…

I worry sometimes that I am too enthusiastic about everything I write.  What if people think I'm just a drama queen, and don't take me seriously when I ramble on for pages about something I loved.  Well, who cares.  The rainforest was AMAZING!  Every square centimeter of it wa…

My greatest discovery of this trip was that a helicopter is the ideal way to really appreciate the beauty of the amazon rainforest. Since it is completely level for hundreds of miles with hardly any hills at all it is almost impossible to see much from the ground. And the airliners usually fly…

I have earned my insights studying and photographing at the Butterfly farm.First, let me introduce you to the cast of char…

We woke up the next morning with the sun already drifting through the mosquio net walls of our hut. The couple in the neighboring hut called us over to look at a giant tarantula on their "roof". At breakfast there was a big group of people at the lodge who were eating from a different s…

Hello all,Today is the day of the big speedboat trip to Santa Rosa.  I woke up to both of my alarms at 4:15am, and started in to my packing duties.  I was done in about an hour, and even had time to say hello to my buddy Henry on instant messenger before packing up the computer for the tr…

Arrived in Iquitos around 5:30am and was met by someone from the Explorama company who put me on a very strange old bus that was all wood planks inside. I met Debbie and Jan, and Marlene and Carl - two couples from the states on a tour vacation. They were very nice folks! We drove through the villi…
