See manatees at the Amazon Rescue Center

Feed orphaned baby manatees at the Amazon Rescue Center, a wonderful place just outside Iquitos. The centre rescues orphaned manatees and later releases them back into the wild. Visitors to the centre not only help keep it running with their entrance fees, but they can also feed the fat little manatees – a truly heart-warming experience.

Iquitos has the intriguing distinction of being the largest city in the world that is unreachable by road. To get to this frontier-like jungle city you either have to fly or take a riverboat.
