Legend of El Dorado - Pacaya-Samiria NR, Iquitos, Amazon Rainforest, Peru
From the fifteenth century spoke of legendary lost cities. El Dorado was the mythical city of gold that led to the European conquerors venture into the depths of the Amazon to discover the great treasure protected jungle. In 1542, during one of the most fateful and famous expedition in search for El Dorado, Francisco de Orellana separates from Gonzalo Pizarro and discovers the Amazon River.

Amazon rainforest, Amazon river, and Napo river via Iquitos, Peru.
For now Iquitos can only be reached by plane or by boat. Most flights to Iquitos originate from Lima. My flight with Star Perú had a short stop in Tarapoto only long enough to exchange some passengers.The total journey took about two hours.
Upon arrival at Iquitos airport, I was welcomed by an intense heat blended with high humidity. As I approached the city center, the heat and humidity were worsen by air pollution. With thousands of unregulated vehicle emissions, Poor air quality in the city in this climate wasn't very friendly to people's lungs. So, I spent the majority of my stay in the jungle, where better air quality combined with nice cool breeze made it more enjoyable...and healthier.
The Amazon rainforest isn't just important to the climatic and ecological balance, but also to the development of pharmaceutical products. Twenty five percent of modern pharmaceutical ingredients are derived from sources in the Amazon rainforest today. But only 1% of its medicinal potential has been discovered!

iquitos Travel notes:
Remember that it's very hot and humid here. Dress accordingly. It can be steaming hot even at dawn!
Iquitos is a big city, relatively, with many choices for restaurants and hotels, ranging from five-star to zero-star lodging. Most have air conditioning, something you may find to be a necessity, especially when you're not used to the intense heat and high humidity. The city center is generally safe, but just keep your radar active for suspects of petty crimes. You'd see many police hanging around in tourist-frequent areas. Laundry service is reasonable. It cost me about $US 2 for a bag of laundry the size of a large backpack, and it took about 4 hours for turnaround, neatly folded!
Jungle notes:
To enjoy the walk in the very wet and muddy jungle, get yourself a good pair of rubber boots with good traction. Poncho without proper ventilation can be uncomfortable in the jungle at this elevation. So, use a raincoat with good ventilation as you walk in the Amazon jungle. Also use insect repellants because there are literally billions of them waiting for you in the jungle. And they do bite.
Happy trekking!

Our first impressions visiting Iquitos, Peru
We've done a lot of travel in Peru; however, we've yet to visit the Amazon basin jungle area up in the north. With an opportunity to take a river cruise in the Amazon we flew from Lima to Iquitos. Visiting Iquitos, the largest city in the region, was a place we stayed for two nights. Our first impressions of the city were favorable as we had an opportunity to take a tuk-tuk ride (known locally as motocar), explore markets, enjoy local delicacies and visit the Belen water stilt village and pet friendly cats and dogs. Come join us as we pound the pavement giving you a tour of Iquitos, Peru.

Our first impressions visiting Iquitos, Peru Travel Guide Video Transcript:
After spending some time in Lima, we flew into Iquitos for the final leg of our Peruvian adventure. The landscape changed from arid deserts to mountains and finally to jungle as our flight crossed the country, and once we arrived, the first thing we did was hop into a tuk-tuk to take us into the city.
So we have made it to Iquitos. We had some lunch, we had a nap. It is now time to explore but first up we have to show you our hotel. It is called Hotel Epoca and it is super cool. It is a colonial building with a cute terrace and you just have to see it. So let's go. I know.
Iquitos is a really fascinating city. It is the largest city in the world that cannot be reached by road, which means that if you want to visit, you either have to take a plane or a boat to get there.
For many, Iquitos is just a quick stopover en route to an Amazon river cruise or a jungle stay, however, we were pretty excited to get to explore this colonial city.
So favorite part of the city so far is walking along the riverfront. We've got the Rio Amazonas just over there. And it is a really scenic walk. It is, it reminds us so much of Luang Prabang in Laos. Yes. Like it is bringing us right back. So similar.
Rrrrrr. We can hear those engines purring. Yes, something that also reminds us so much of Southeast Asia is all of the tuk-tuk. It is a city of tuk-tuk. You see motorcycles and rickshaw drivers everywhere.
It is an Iron House and that was built by Gustav Eiffel and brought piece by piece all the way from France in 1890. Wow! Or so rumor has it! There is little evidence tying Eiffel to this building, but the mystery keeps people visiting .
We spent the rest of the afternoon just wandering around Iquitos on foot. We didn’t have a map and we didn't have a guide, but we somehow managed to hit a lot of the main landmarks and then some.
Well I would say it has been a pretty fun first half day of exploration. We're really enjoying the town so far. Yes. This is a place I have wanted to visit for such a long time because my Grandma is actually from this area. Not from the city but from like a tiny little colony in the middle of the jungle that no longer even exists. I know. So it is pretty cool here. I feel like we have a much greater appreciation of where she is from and the kinds of food she has been eating because if you stay tune to our channel we're going to be filming a lot of food vlogs of all the regional cuisine from the Amazon.
Okay, so we made it to Belen which is the little village on water stilts. We ended up in the more residential area of Belen, however, there is a more touristy area where you can hire a peke-peke boat to take you out on the water. While we didn’t get to experience this, it could be a cool way to see the village from a different vantage point.
So Audrey, what are you seeing so far? Mostly fresh produce. Fruits and vegetables. Lots of colorful fruit. And I can smell cilantro in the air. So we just went through a really busy market. Now we're heading back into a different section of the water stilt village.
So that is a wrap from Iquitos. Tomorrow we are off to stay in a tree house lodge in the middle of the jungle. And from there we're going to be cruising down the Amazon. Yeah. Can't wait for that. So the adventures continue and we'll have many more videos to come. Ciao. Ciao.

EN-2011-Matsés Expedition
*EN: The Matsés, also known as the Mayoruna people, are located in the river Yavari basin, close to the border of Peru and Brazil, in the Amazon rainforest (South America). Because their territory is a remote location, the Matsés people preserve their ancestral culture. On August 27, 2009, the Peruvian government has established the Matsés National Reserve, with an area of 420,635.34 ha (4,206.35 km2), in order to contribute to conserve the natural resources, allowing the indigenous people use these resources in a sustainable way.
