Iquitos Airport

Fed up with long boat rides and eager to save a few days we decided to fly to Lima. In a few hours we should be there. Will then probably immediately take a bus to Quito, Ecuador.

Another reason to take a flight is to be able to experience the Amazonian fractal (?) landscapes from the air. For this reason we took the morning flight. (Peruvian Airlines flies twice a day to Lima, 8.30 and 19.40.) As the sky is very cloudy, we probably won't see anything, however. :(

Iquitos has been a cool place to visit. The highlights were the Belen water city and the manatee orphanage where visitors can feed four manatee babies with milk.
