Stillwater Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Surrounded by LANPeru birds we get ready in Lima-Callao for another, slightly longer tour. These luxury tourists just do not want to take the bus...! To be honest the coastal area looks no too exiting for me with OpenLC. But it gets better over Huanuco, when the Andes grow and some greenish comes up in the distance... The Cordillera Azul reminds me of the MacDonnell Ranges, just with a slightly different colour. We start to follow a little creek: Rio Ucayali. Well, a creek of 2670 km length and a width up to 1200 metres... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ucayali_River After the city of Nauta it merges with the Rio Maranon to form the Amazonas. The biggest city around: Iquitos. Can only be reached by ship or plane (no road access), and was rapidly growing during the Amazon Rubber Boom. Not to the advantage of the indigenous inhabitants of the region. Average temperatures are over 30°C in every month, humidity rarely falling under 80%. Finnish people have to build wood houses to get these conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orbxtreme Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Very interesting region, the Iquito sector and the Amazon region remind me of a movie made by Werner Herzog with Klaus Kinsky . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Lars Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Thank you very much, Gerold, for a very interesting voyage to a rarely treated region of our flightsim world. I once wanted to write a book that plays there, but somehow I didn't come to finish it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper31 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Nice flight into the Amazon area Gerold...I can feel the humidity already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Wonderful flight Gerold with an interesting narration. Just incredible how big these rivers and still so far from the sea. With temperatures and humidity like this it is definitely a place I would not like to live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillwater Posted May 4, 2018 Author Share Posted May 4, 2018 Thnak you very much for commenting, @mikee, @paulb, @Iain Emms and @adambar ! 21 hours ago, Orbxtreme said: Very interesting region, the Iquito sector and the Amazon region remind me of a movie made by Werner Herzog with Klaus Kinsky . Oh yes indeed, the story about making this movie is as interesting as the movie itself https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitzcarraldo! And we have one guy here on the forum who would be in a position to act in this movie as well, considereing where he has been driving with ships recently... 21 hours ago, Captain Lars said: Thank you very much, Gerold, for a very interesting voyage to a rarely treated region of our flightsim world.

But maybe from work...? 21 hours ago, Sniper31 said: Nice flight into the Amazon area Gerold...I can feel the humidity already Me too, Landon.

Not ony are these rivers big, I have some ideas of what may be living in them... . And the climate is not for me either. 19 hours ago, Jack Sawyer said: Nice scenery and flight Gerold and you just described the Atlanta area, for most of the year. Thanks Jack. I know USA´s south can be unconvenient, but I suppose the tropics are an even heavier thing?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
