Details on arrival
The rainy months are
from December to February, the rest of the year is very hot.
The arrivals are just mondays.
RAREC’s transportation pick you up only at 7:30 am and 11:00 am maximum, so we recommend to take from Lima to Iquitos the flights that arrives before 11 am. If you prefer to take a later flight than we suggest, the other option is to arrive one day before, stay in the city of Iquitos and we will pick you up on Monday at 8 a.m.
Regarding departures, RAREC's private transportation can take the interns to arrive to airport on Sunday at 1:00 pm and Monday at 7:30 am, so we recommend to take from Iquitos to Lima flights after those times but not so late, so you don't have to wait too much time at the airport. If you prefer to take a later flight than we suggest, we can contact you with a trustworthy taxi who can take you to the airport when you need (direct payment to the taxi driver).
