Climate
The Iquitos area is located a few degrees south of the equator and is characterized
by strong tropical sun and rainforest. Average temperatures range from the upper
70s to upper 80s F year around during the day, to the lower 70s at night. It
can be cool on the river at night or on overcast days. There is very little seasonal
variation between winter and summer temperatures. The average humidity ranges
from 60-80%, and rainfall occurs approximately 250 days out of the year. Most
showers occur in the late afternoon or evening and are of short duration. Lima
temperatures vary from 50-65° F between June and August.
Boats
The transfer boats from Iquitos to the lodge are covered boats with benches running
down each side of the boat. The boat is equipped with life preservers, radio
and toilet. Smaller 10 or 20 seat, open-air excursion boats are used for activities
on the river.
Activities/Physical Condition:
The most physical activity is walking. Each day you may walk at a slow pace
anywhere from 1 to 2 miles at one time. Trails can be muddy and slippery. You
must be in good enough physical condition to walk at least 2 miles at a slow
pace and have good footing due to trail conditions.
