The river is much narrower here, so Amazon cruise crafts are smaller, taking form of riverboats with a capacity to hold no more than 50 or 60 passengers. The favored port of departure and return on a Peru Amazon cruise is located at city of Iquitos. Most passengers arrive at Iquitos by air on an internal flight from Lima - capital of Peru..
