The Peruvian Amazon is huge. Most organized trekking is going on in the Southeastern part of the jungle, near the Bolivian border in Manu National Park. Everywhere in the east and especially near the Colombian/ Peruvian/ Brazilian tri-border is completely wild and unexplored. Bring a machete, mosquito net, good boots, and a willingness to suffer if you really want to explore this region.

The main hub of transport and tourism in the jungle is Iquitos, the jungle city. A journey to Iquitos overland requires spine jostling trip over the mountains, high jungle, and low jungle through dodgy narco-towns and eventually a long boat ride on the main tributaries of the Amazon down heading either north or east. Iquitos is a good place to begin the search for a good shaman for an Ayahuasca ritual, but definitely seek out references first and make sure that you feel comfortable with your religious guide.

Lima is a foggy shit-hole, but can boast good food and drink with a pleasant climate. If you stay very long, though, your lungs will be black. It’s a city of 12 million people in a very poor country.

The beaches around Lima are decent, especially if you make friends with upper-class Peruvians who can take you to their private beaches, which are regularly cleaned. During the ‘summer’ (November- March), the beach is a great place to watch beautiful Latin bodies walk around on the beach in skimpy, Brazilian-style bathing suits and bikinis.

Lima is known for its excellent food selection, which of course includes ceviche and other seafood. Lima is tolerable in small doses, and is a good place to gear up for the mountains or the jungle as virtually every American store imaginable has a place there.
