his is just a small collection of the many photographs taken
during my two week visit to Peru, Iquitos, the mighty Amazon
River, its tributaries, and hopefully a small peephole into
the life of the population of Iquitos. I hope you will enjoy
these pictures of an unforgettable experience.
All photos are by myself or otherwise indicated.
