About DawnAmazon:

After traveling on six continents and lots of countries and islands, I guess I have had more adventures than most people. Viet Nam, Chiapas Mexico, some events that happened in Central America, island hopping the South Pacific, three African safaris, climbing the volcanoes of Uganda to be with the mountain gorillas, the Congo and Rwanda, Down Under, but my best adventure is the one I am having now, cruising in my boats on the Amazon River to the Amazon Rainforest.

Hobbies:

The natural history of the bio-diversity of the upper amazon watershed of Peru, birdwatching, looking for bromeliads and orchids, swimming with the pink dolphins, collecting ornamental fish, and photographing and writing about my discoveries.

Favourite places:

South Pacific, Cook Islands, French Polynesia, Upper Amazon Rainforest of Peru

Dear Friends, from Iquitos Peru

Posted by DawnAmazon | 8th April 2008

Friends, I am in Iquitos Peru again. I have not posted in a while, but now I am back and ready to write. I have done a lot since my last post, but not for the Captains Log.

The Amazon riverboat Dawn on the Amazon I, has been redesigned, longer and wider, with better balance. A large aluminum gas tank was added to the bow for better balance and efficiency. One of the best boats in Iquitos Peru has been improved. The Dawn on the Amazon crew have been busy.

I have been enjoying a visit from my son. Matt has guided a day trip and helped on two Amazon cruises. We cruised to Tamshiyacu Tahuayo Reserve, and later we went to Pacaya Samiria National Reserve. This was his second visit to Iquitos Peru, and we enjoyed each others company a lot.

Do you know about the Amazon Golf Course in Iquitos Peru?

The Amazon Golf Course is the only golf course in the upper Amazon in Peru. It has been under construction off and on over the last 4 years. I have been working on the web site.
