So at 6.30 we are all like nails in the jetty waiting for our boat to start a morning that is quite complete since this excursion lasts until almost 12 noon, practically like the one we did yesterday morning in which we left to See wildlife around the Muyuna with the canoe.
Road to the place where the pink dolphins of the Amazon meet
It takes us to reach an area of the river where you can find the Amazonian pink dolphins about 20 minutes and the first thing that René does and another guide that accompanies us is to take out some refrigerators where they have prepared our breakfast.

Saying goodbye to Muyuna Lodge
Without a doubt, this has been a great experience, taking us from the Muyuna Amazon Lodge and our guide René an unforgettable memory.

We arrive at the port of Iquitos when there are a few minutes to 5 in the afternoon and we come to find a car that distributes us through the hotels we stayed in today, we have the flight to Lima tomorrow, or to the airport according to destination.
When we arrive at La Casona, our hotel in Iquitos, we say goodbye to what our group has been these days knowing that "one day we will see each other again, the world is very small".
Now it's time to rest for a few minutes in the room, remembering the incredible experience we have had these last 4 days in the Amazon and after 6 in the afternoon we go out to dinner and go for a walk under a sky that says goodbye to us with a tearful drizzle.
Today we have dinner at an Italian restaurant next to the hotel and the Plaza de Armas, a pizza, pasta dish, water and soda for 60 soles and before returning to the hotel we go around the boardwalk, full of people, hoping to keep Forever this good vibes that breathe in the environment.
The time has come to go to bed and rest. Tomorrow we will have a most complete day, but this time it is different, we return home.
