This is an excellent, and probably your cheapest option, to get into Colombia from Iquitos. On this 3-day ship, you are coasting along the Amazon River, sleeping in a hammock, and making your way into Colombia! (Can also take the ship into Brazil or Ecuador or leave from any of the three spots into Iquitos, Peru)
