Iquitos & the Peruvian Amazon

The largest city on earth unreachable by road, only by river or by air, a floating market built entirely on stilts and boats, and pink river dolphins that surface right beside the canoe without much concern for who is watching.
The best time to visit Iquitos & the Peruvian Amazon is Jun–Oct, when typical daytime highs reach about 30°C (87°F).
