Iquitos, Peru is a large jungle town on the Amazon River. It is only accessible either by river or air - no roads lead to or from
the city to other parts of Peru or South America. Iquitos is an excellent place to start a jungle adventure or to travel down the
Amazon River. Some of these are "soft adventures" designed for the average tourist to travel comfortably while still allowing
people to see the river and jungle and to visit river villages where villagers show the tourists their homes and village.
These photos were taken during a trip to Iquitos and a subsequent riverboat trip down the Amazon River.
