Oh mighty river (oh bloody mosquitoes).

How Hertz felt?

The Sounds of the Jungle
This is a top pick! DOMINIQUE HERE: Day : 383 Temperature : Still 33 degrees Weather : Hot and humid It's virtually impossible to put into words the sounds of the jungle. It's like no where else, a unique noise. The sounds here appear to echo and reverberate all around you ...
Welcome to the Jungle

Arrival in Letecia, Colombia
This is a top pick! Letecia, Colombia Spent 11 hours on a fast boat going full speed down the Amazon. Left Iquitos at 6am and arrived at about 530pm. And keep in mind we were going between 80 and 100km/hr. It was a sit down boat...not a get up and walk around boat ... ...

Amazon Adventure Part II
Due to my lack of time we decided to combine what would be two days on the tour into one day so I could get a taste for all there was on offer in the Amazon. But it meant a long day. We started early and headed into the Amazon again. This time Abelardo's ...
Catching a flight to Bogota (take 2)

Rio Amazon

From Peru to Colombia on the Amazon
... took us 400 km on the Amazon river - it actually feels more like a big lake - from Iquitos in Peru to Leticia in Colombia. 400km sounds quite a big distance but really mingy compared to a total river length of 6500km. We accepted our human limitations ...
Tri frontera
... all kind of blend together and share most characteristics as one another, but after crossing the river from santa rosa (peru), to leticia (colombia), it is almost instantly that you can see and hear that these people are so distinctively colombian. It is ...

triple frontier
... and giggles! we clearly have huge dollar signs on our heads. More assertive avoidance tactics have been employed today : ) Leticia is a pretty place, just how youd imagine a jungle town. Palm thatched roofs and little scooters running everywhere. Every ...
Open borders and three countries
... last town in peru where you have to take care of immigrations, and then from there you take a tiny little boat to either leticia, colombia, or tabatinga brazil. its crazy because its all open boarders and people just jump around from each city to do what ...
