Sacred Service to Indigenous Community
We will be working with Angels of the Amazon for a morning service project. The AofA foundation is set up to provide aid to the 8,000 indigenous people living in the 12 communities in the Tahuayo River basin. The Tahuayo River is a modest tributary of the upper Amazon River, about 100 miles SSW of Iquitos, Peru. This is a very remote part of the world. Iquitos City is the world’s largest city which is not connected to any other city by road, being surrounded by impenetrable Amazon jungle.

Return to Iquitos
We will board our boat for the ride back to Iquitos looking to spot wildlife along the way and listening, one last time for this trip, to the lyrical songs of the surrounding forest and the calls of our animal brothers and sisters.
Dinner at Karma Cafe
After dropping our bags at the hotel – we will gather for our farewell dinner at the local institution the Karma Cafe. (seems appropriate!) 🙂
An oasis of tranquility in the heart of bustling Iquitos. Comfy sofas, art gallery great coffee, fresh juices, vegetarian food, cocktails, Mediterranean Tapas, Thai and Indian curries, free Wi Fi, library, games and some truly inspirational live music.
