| Some of the bustling city’s old
wealth is still evident in its tiled mansions, legacies of the turn
of the century rubber boom. Located on the banks of the Amazon, the
city is the starting point for cruises down the Amazon to protected
areas of Peru, Brazil and Colombia. There are few roads here and the
Amazon and its tributaries are the region’s lifeline. Jungle lodges
in and around Iquitos and down the river from the city, transport
you by boat from the bustle of the city to Amazon wilderness |
