My friends and I are both dealing with a mix of altitude sickness and a cold. It is most definitely not the best combination. Omar had to skip the bus tour today because he was throwing up last night from altitude sickness

Im sick and tired. Im beginning to get agitated from sleep deprivation. Our flight got cancelled bc Sky Airlines overbooked. I am currently at the airport waiting for my flight to cusco so we can make it to Machu Picchu on time

Our flight to Lima from Iquitos just got cancelled due to an issue at the airport causing a lot of delays and cancellations. The issue is that we have tickets to Machu Picchu tomorrow and need to get to Cusco today but the only flights go through Lima.

I was the first one to catch a piranha and it was a monster piranha. I got its jaw as a souvenir.

Today was a great day. I went to monkey island, went piranha fishing again and caught a bigger one and I saw the sunset on the river

Today, I have embarked on a journey to into the Peruvian Amazon. The tour guide has described the Kambo ritual. It is a shamanic ritual involving the poison of a frog

Iquitos reminds me a lot about Vietnam. The city is quite similar the way the city and its architecture looks
