People are too quick to criticize other's experiences. If you enjoyed it and learned, that should be enough. The criticizers can do their own thing.

Oh yes, of course I went up river but by private boat....and a half day by foot. Great time with a tribe, etc, etc...Traveller

PS there has been some argument and push back, or there was at that time when I was writing about it....that my journey was inauthentic....I probably disagree, but the entirely isolated Jaguar and other tribes I specifically did not wish to either visit or try to find....due to this desire on my part....my journey was deemed, "Inauthentic," by a sub-set of travelers, jouney-men.

The only Peruvian hotel we stayed in was the one at the Lima airport. I did notice some, ahem, interesting-looking establishments as we drove around Iquitos (plenty of cool colonial architecture, too). Were you able to get out on the river to see some scenery and wildlife?

Ha! So you didn't stay at any of my Hotels, both good or deeply downscale...lol
The Regina though was pretty fine....and I enjoyed my three days there before I had to move to a dive of a place. Traveller

We flew into Iquitos, had lunch at the floating restaurant, and then headed to Nauta for a one-week river cruise.
Returning, we stopped at the Manatee Rescue Center http://www.amazonrescuecenter.org/en/home/) before catching a plane back to Lima.

The Macaw is very nice...evocative even in showing parrot emotion (?).

BTW...where did you say in Iquitos? I know the city fairly well...having gotten trapped there for 8 or 9 days by accident and had to keep changing hotels as newer people kept their reservations.
