DESCRIPTION:

Iquitos was of great importance during the Rubber Boom years of 1880-1912, due to the enormous wealth generated by the extraction of latex. This was an era of ostentation, and during this time, the Amazon in general became a destination for fortune hunters of all kinds.
The Amazon River, called the king of rivers, has a longitude of 6762 kilometers. It’s the longest and widest river in the world, and the Amazon basin contains more fresh water than any other place on Earth.
