Iquitos

It has been a few years since my last post. I have been in Iquitos this time for two months now. This place has been going down here for about 5 years now. Just in that last month, there has been one tourist from Spain that was killed (created an uproar in Spain and they have been warning their citizens to now come here) another family was kidnapped and held for ransom for over 24 hours at gun point until their ransom got paid. All the tourist companies now have an armed guard escorting their tourists. The city and the surrounding areas are dirtier than they have ever been. The Itaya River is one big cesspool. One the good side, there is a brand new mall (Adventura Mall) that is modern, clean, and with A / see. Things are a little bit expensive but if you want a Starbucks Coffee (which I can't stand), go to the mall. Another thing that has recently opened up is a public aquarium out near Lago Quistococha, called "Acuario del Amazonas". It is actually a pretty nice public aquarium.

I come back here now not to find ladies anymore. Hell, at my age, that is all behind me. I come here often as I help a non-profit outside of Iquitos and stay away from the city as much as possible. If you are looking for some nice charapitas, Iquitos is not the place for you.

I hope that helps. There are too many beautiful ladies out there in the world so there is no reason to waste your time ciming to Iquitos.
