HELP!!! Can anyone out there send a plane to Iquitos, Peru? Anyone? Anyone out there? Hello!
So Dad and I returned back to Iquitos after a magical jungle adventure. We stayed at an all- inclusive lodge deep in the jungle. Imagine heaven on earth. We were there. Birds beyond your wildest imagination, stick houses, canoes barely floating above the water, slothes in slow motion, poisonious animals in little corners everywhere, every shade 0f green and beautiful, wonderful, generous people. We returned to Iquitos to explore the city for the day before flying home. Iquitos, the only city (?) in the world that is only reachable by boat or air. No roads to or from Iquitos to anywhere. While we were on this amazing jungle retreat our airline decided to ¨temporarily¨go out of business. They left us high and dry (or more like wet and pissed). No refunds, no other flights, no answers, to staff to direct us one way or the other. I don´t think I have even been so mad in this country and never had such a negative experience with an airline. Luckily we are only delayed one day and were fortunate to find another ticket with another airline tomorrow. So we will spend Father´s Day in the air, on the road and in uncomfortable positions while traveling from jungle to coast to mountains. I am sure we will laugh about this in the future. Let´s hope so.
Note to self: Don´t buy airline tickets with airline that is going out of business while in jungle.
