Iquitos - Market scenes

There was a very active street market in Iquitos. We walked around a few times to see what we could see. Samples were offered. Lots of seafood for sale. And some interesting waterfront buildings.

And some tranquility as well.

Auto rickshaws in Iquitos

Auto Rickshaws, often called mototaxis in Peru, or tuk-tuks (I think tuk tuk is a Thai term, and that is what we called them) are a common form of transportation. (There is a UK company whose brand name is MMW Tuk Tuks.) They are 3-wheeled motorcycles holding a cabin for the riders. They often have fancy decor on them. We saw lots of them and took several rides in them.

Here is what I saw during part of one ride through town.
