Yurimaguas to Iquitos by Cargo Ship Gilmer V (Eduardo) Amazon River Part 3
Cruising down the Amazon cargo style! Yurimaguas to Iquitos, Peru March 24 to 27, 2012 We spent one night in Yurimaguas, thankfully to have a shower after two days on numerous bus rides and because the boat we wanted to take didn #39;t leave until the following day at 4pm. We headed down to the port about 2pm to board our boat, the Gilmer (part of the Eduardo family of boats). It was a blue and white cargo boat with three decks. The first is for all the cargo (mostly plantains, rice, chickens and fruit), the second is where most of the locals slept and the third floor was double the price so that #39;s where the tourists end up. It was well worth the extra money to have a little extra space. It cost $100 soles (about $38US) for two nights, three days and meals. There were only about eight other tourists on board. We tied up our hammocks and locked our bags to a pole; ready to set off into the Amazon! This video has lots of tips and prices if you are thinking of taking a cargo ship from Yurimaguas to Iquitos, Peru. Enjoy!From:Ryan BrendzyViews:0 0ratingsTime:05:16More inTravel Events
