I dont need my hammock further on this trip so I decided to leave it at Hospedaje Pascana -Pevez street in Iquitos. If somebody of you will be there with the intention to jump on the river boat, just go to Pascana and ask for my hammock – the owner promised to give it back to my friends for free.
I was rainy morning when I took a shared taxi to Iquitos a airport. Surprise was waiting there: they wanted me to pay airport tax for ny domestic flight in cash – 16.50 soles. Usually it is included in the price of the ticket – but, as you see – not in Peru!
I will fly within Peru using award ticket from American Airlines – it is worth to collect miles… By the way – do you know that Oneworld Aliance offers 10 percent discount on all tickets till April 12th? Also circle fares and RTW tickets… they celebrate 10th anniversary.
In Lima I had connection to Arequipa – the LAN flight was 3-hours delayed so when I landed in Arequipa it was dark, cold and it was raining. What a change: from the heat of 36 deg in Iquitos to 12 deg in Arequipa. Brrr… I am in Peruvian Andes!
