The Amazon Rainforest feeds the most powerful river on the face of the earth; el Rio Amazonia. Iquitos, Peru is located near the headwaters of this powerful river. Iquitos was founded by rubber barons in the 1800s' it is now a contrast of cultures with its old world European & Spanish architectural influenced buildings & squares to a modern city dotted with jungle huts. Accessible only by air or water, Iquitos is the jumping off point for the Rain Forest adventure.
