I enjoyed nice sunset in the evening. Yes, I know that there are travellers who spent on the Amazon river boats much more days. Congratulations! It is the adventure to be tried but I think that already on the third day it could be boring and tiring. Unless you want to punish yourself three days on the slow boat is enough to try the taste of sailing the great river… Just let you know: there are also fest boats going from Santa Rosa to Iquitos, they do the route in 12 hours (and you pay hefty 60 USD for ticket) but you have to wait for the sufficient number of passengers, the travel is noisy and you do not go to the villages and little channels beetwen the river islands – I did not like it!
On the slow boat you see more, you have more time for the pictures from the open deck and it is more quiet travel – I was listening even to the birds on the shore!
In Iquitos river harbour I took a motor carro – popular motocycle rickshaw for 4 soles to get to the city. My big river odyssey is over…
