Take a look at some of my photos of visiting a lodge and tribal village in the jungles of the Amazon Rainforest! This #Amazon journey was yet again another one of the incredible Treasures Of Traveling in Peru!

Jungle Expedition in the Amazon Rainforest

Iquitos is surrounded by the Amazon River on one side and the Amazon Rainforest on all other sides so the only way to reach Iquitos is to either fly there or travel by boat. Therefore, Iquitos is the world’s largest city that can not be reached by any roads. For this reason, Iquitos is also an important port city for this area of Peru as many goods and supplies arrive by boat after a week long journey floating up the Amazon River from the Atlantic Ocean. A journey of over 2,200 miles.

There are so many things to see and do in Iquitos and you can read about all of those things in this post about Iquitos, but If you would like to venture deeper into the Amazon rainforest there are many tour companies that offer jungle expeditions down Amazon tributaries to jungle lodges which allow you to visit tribal villages where you can stay and experience the local culture of the local indigenous Indians of the region. Take a look at some of the pictures below to see what visiting a jungle lodge and tribal village is like and let me know in the comments below what you think about it!

Visiting the Amazon Jungle was a once in a lifetime experience and I would encourage anyone who is thinking about traveling to Peru to visit a jungle lodge somewhere within the Amazon Rainforest to experience the beauty mother nature has to offer! This Amazon journey was yet again another one of the incredible Treasures Of Traveling in Peru.
