This was back in the 80's, but I was able to go to Iquitos(iqt) Ecuador.(Think I got spelling right) This is a city of approx 350,000 people on the Amazon River. From there I went by boat to the Amazon Safari camp back deep in the jungle.I think the boat trip was around 3 hours or so. I can tell you it is another world down there. Everyone needs to go there one time. The sights & sounds of the Amazon are something else. Spent the night at Holiday Inn-Iquitos(very nice) then flew to Lima stayed at downtown Sheraton-Lima. What a difference the jungle to the capitol city.
My trip orginated in Miami on Faucett Airlines, and entire trip on Faucett. I was able to ride in the jumpseat of the Faucett 707 over the Andees at night AWSOME! and a beautful landing in Lima.
I have my aircraft dispatchers license so was able to ride up front..I hope this helps a little.
