A very prominent mountain I noticed on the flight to Iquitos for the Amazon jungle portion of our trip. I think it's named Nevado Huaguruncho. It's about 18-19k feet
Are first view of the jungle as we decend towards Iquitos. The river is Rio Ucayali
The airport in Iquitos inspires confidence!
Iquitos is mostly motorcycles

We're waiting to leave on the boat ride to the lodge
Heading for the lodge! It's about a 50 Mile trip taking about 3 hours to get there. At this point we're still on Rio Itaya

We went in and out of 3 or 4 rain storms along the way.
Raining on the Amazon river. Who would have known?
Sunny again. Now on the River Tahuayo, which is the river the lodge is on.

Kapok Tree and fruit. The fruit is kind of like milkweed pods, though larger (roughly the size of an eggplant).
First monkey spotted! Can you see it? It's a Squirrel Monkey.
The main lodge we stayed at. It's just after the rainy season so the river is flooded up under the lodge.
Our room, which was one of the rooms you could get with a private bath/shower rather than using a shared one.
