I found Iquitos to be a rather boring city. There is really very little there. I wallked around a little, but mostly spent my time planning my Jungle trip and finding the right guide. In the end I found a company that seemed decent enough, and whuile I payed way too much, I signed up to do 6 days and 5 nights in the jungle with him.
We headed out the next day and were off to their lodge in the jungle. This is kind of their base camp, aand is exactly where all other companies have their base camps. We spent one night there before goig to a giant lake the next night to fish and camp. From there we spent 2 nights on a different river, just hiking and fishing and whatever. Then the final nigh we were in the lodge again. I had a good time, but it was kind of hard and probasbly too long. I also kind of got beat up a little, but it was fun and worth while.
From the jungle I headed to Nodau to a boat that would take 3 days and have me in the main land. It was pretty cool. I think the fiood was better than I had thought, and I met some nice people. There was an Argentinian couple and an American guy. They were all plerasent enough. There wasn´t much to report other than some cold nighs and reading.
After the boat I headed to Chachapoyas with the American guy, although I kind of wished he hadnt joined me. He is much more of a partier than I am, and I am not diging his company too much. Howebver, it is nice to have someone I suppose.
