The main language spoken in Iquitos is Spanish. The word Iquitos, however, comes from the Zaparoan language, which is endangered. Everyone knows Spanish now, but Iquito used to be the language of the region for several hundred years.
A bottle of water in Iquitos cost s/ 1.50, around .50 cents in the U.S.A.
The best meal this week is called patarashca. It is fish wrapped in a banana leaves and cooked over a fire, and served with rice and fried plantains.
The activity that was the most fun was walking through the Amazon Rainforest. I got to climb a tree like Tarzan!
The book that I read this week is called Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan. I finished it during my stay in the rainforest.
