Iquitos, Peru's largest jungle city and the Amazon Basin's largest settlement without road links, it is connected to the outside world only by air and river, there are very few roads here and the Amazon river and its tributaries are the regions lifeline. Jungle lodges in and around Iquitos and down the river from the city transport you by boat from the bustle of the city to the Amazonian wilderness. The more remote a lodge is and the more pristine and unspoiled the environment is, the more it is going to cost you to get there in terms of time and money. Rivers define life in the jungle even more than do forests, and almost all transport is by dugout canoe, motorboat or large riverboats.
