Welcome, I am Bill Grimes, writer, photographer, naturalist, and jungle guide. I live and work in Iquitos Peru, on the rivers, and in the rainforests. I am also the owner and president of Dawn on the Amazon Tours and Cruises, a small but cozy adventure outfitter for independent travelers.

This blog will focus on the charming port town of Iquitos and on my expeditions on the upper Amazon watershed of Peru. You will find travel planning strategies designed to help you save money, time, and more importantly to help you build your own Amazon adventure.

I have recently been to Pacaya Samiria National Reserve, Allpahuayo Mishana National Reserve, the newly enlarged Tamshiyacu Tahuayo Reserve, Pevas, Nauta, the triple frontier, and many other exciting river and rainforest destinations. I will post details of those travels and will offer advice that will be valuable to help you build your own Amazon Adventure.
