Peru: Iquitos

Post by kruseman »

Hi,

Has somebody ever visited Iquitos and the surroundings here?

How is it like in terms of having the chance to catch catfish, characins and the like?
Is it "travellsafe" and is the jungle still worthwhile to visit?

Yes, it's safe and easy to collect fishes.

Sorry, but I'm not able to find them.
