Dawn on The Amazon Cafe! Iquitos Peru!
Me waiting for my meal at Dawn on The Amazon Cafe in Iquitos Peru talking with some locals selling products from the jungle.
Amazon Experience - Iquitos, Peru
Four days in the amazon jungle and cruising along the river with Davis, a great guide from amazon experience. we had such a good trip! i cant recommend this tour company enough.
Amazon rainforest, Amazon river, and Napo river via Iquitos, Peru.
For now Iquitos can only be reached by plane or by boat. Most flights to Iquitos originate from Lima. My flight with Star Perú had a short stop in Tarapoto only long enough to exchange some passengers.The total journey took about two hours.
Upon arrival at Iquitos airport, I was welcomed by an intense heat blended with high humidity. As I approached the city center, the heat and humidity were worsen by air pollution. With thousands of unregulated vehicle emissions, Poor air quality in the city in this climate wasn't very friendly to people's lungs. So, I spent the majority of my stay in the jungle, where better air quality combined with nice cool breeze made it more enjoyable...and healthier.
The Amazon rainforest isn't just important to the climatic and ecological balance, but also to the development of pharmaceutical products. Twenty five percent of modern pharmaceutical ingredients are derived from sources in the Amazon rainforest today. But only 1% of its medicinal potential has been discovered!

iquitos Travel notes:
Remember that it's very hot and humid here. Dress accordingly. It can be steaming hot even at dawn!
Iquitos is a big city, relatively, with many choices for restaurants and hotels, ranging from five-star to zero-star lodging. Most have air conditioning, something you may find to be a necessity, especially when you're not used to the intense heat and high humidity. The city center is generally safe, but just keep your radar active for suspects of petty crimes. You'd see many police hanging around in tourist-frequent areas. Laundry service is reasonable. It cost me about $US 2 for a bag of laundry the size of a large backpack, and it took about 4 hours for turnaround, neatly folded!
Jungle notes:
To enjoy the walk in the very wet and muddy jungle, get yourself a good pair of rubber boots with good traction. Poncho without proper ventilation can be uncomfortable in the jungle at this elevation. So, use a raincoat with good ventilation as you walk in the Amazon jungle. Also use insect repellants because there are literally billions of them waiting for you in the jungle. And they do bite.
Happy trekking!
A trip to the Explornapo natural reserve - Iquitos Peru Amazon Jungle Tours
To reach the ExplorNapo Lodge we board a speed boat, and travel on the upper reaches of the Amazon.
we then enter a tributary, the Napo River, and disembark at the ExplorNapo Lodge in a rainforest reserve.
The first stop is a visit to the Enthno-botanical Garden the ReNuPeRu next to the lodge.
The garden shows the vast variety of medicinal plants native to the Amazon. Many have found a place in modern medicine.
A canopy walkway through the treetops is an unforgettable experience.
More than 35 meters high 500 meters long, the walkway offers a privileged viewing platform to observe the plants and animals that live in the trees..
including birds and monkeys, reptiles and insects that never touch the ground in their lives.
Its accessible to everyone and doesnt require special skills or equipment.
Suspended among the 14 tallest trees in the reserve, the canopy walkway is the longest in the world.
During a boat excursion along one of the many branches of the Napo River youll spot macaws, toucans, three toed sloths and several species of monkey.
This and much more is waiting for you in Iquitos.

Yanamono Rum Distillery, Amazon River, Peru
Some clips of the Yanamono Rum and Cane Syrup Distillery near ExplorAma Lodge on the Amazon River in Peru. This is a family run business that has been making rum for a few generations. We got to sample a variety of different rum recipes and their cane syrup they make on site. Our guide Cesar's uncle runs the business. They have a bar and supply the lodge with syrup for Exporama's excellent French Toast.

Explorama Lodge, Amazon River, Peru
Footage from around the ExplorAma Lodge in June 2013. We stayed here for a couple of days with a group of students. Exploring the rainforest at night was very fun as was our visit to the reconstructed Yagua Village. We visited the library and clinic too and donated some time and medicine. It is very peaceful.

Floating museum The Ayapua
24 April 2015. Iquitos, Peru. Video Tour of the vessel Ayapua. Built in 1906. This boat was one of the original boats that were used by the 'rubber barons' who abused and enslaved native people for labor to get natural rubber used to make (mostly) tires for the earliest motorcars. Henry Ford visited the 'plantations' and saw the atrocities. His cars had rubber tires.
