Iquitos Peru is well known as the gateway to Amazon adventures. It is also a charming destination in its own right, deserving at least one or two days to explore, either before or after your Amazon cruise or lodge stay, preferably both. Iquitos is surrounded by rivers and rainforest, with a rich history, and a unique culture that has evolved in isolation from the rest of the civilized world.
Twelve people chartered our Amazon river boat, Dawn on the Amazon III for an Amazon tour to the Butterfly farm, near Iquitos Peru. We saw lots of pink dolphins
Let me tell you this story about our Amazon cruise from Iquitos Peru to Leticia Columbia. I was hired for seven days to guide a family from Poland down the Amazon River as far as the border.

An Amazon cruise chartered by a family of Polish adventurers on an "Amazon Challenge" to follow the Amazon River from it's source in the Andes to the Atlantic Ocean.
I think it is safe to say this controversy is not over. For now I am happy to think of the Nile as the longest and the Amazon as the largest. If a team of cartographers want to float and measure in comfort from the upper Ucayali or the upper Marañon to the triple frontier on an Amazon cruise, please remember that I am interested.
This story is for any of you that are interested in learning more about an Amazon Cruise from Iquitos Peru to the Triple Frontier. There is no such thing as a typical Amazon Cruise with Dawn on the Amazon. This one certainly isn’t, but you might get an idea of what it could be like to join us on your own Amazon Cruise.
