Iquitos, the world's largest city inaccessible by road (reachable only by boat or plane), is the gateway to 700,000 square kilometres of Peruvian Amazon -- the most biodiverse ecosystem on Earth, containing 10% of all species on the planet. Riverboat cruises from Iquitos through pink river dolphin habitat, piranha-fishing villages, and canopy walkways above primary jungle representing 55 million years of continuous forest cover offer access to an ecosystem that is disappearing at a rate of 270,000 hectares per year.
