IQUITOS AND THE AMAZON JUNGLE

Located on the Amazon River, Iquitos is a mere 106 meters above sea level even though it is more than 3,000 km. from the mouth of the Amazon at Belem in Brazil, on the Atlantic Ocean. It is situated 125 km. downstream of the confluence of the Ucayali and Marañón rivers, the two main headwaters of the Amazon River.

Iquitos has long been a major port in the Amazon Basin. It is surrounded by three rivers: the Nanay, the Itaya, and the Amazon. Iquitos was known for its rubber industry through the rubber boom of the first decade of the 20th century, and there are still great mansions from the 1800s, including the Iron House, designed by Gustave Eiffel. Iquitos has a growing reputation as a tourist community, especially as a jumping-off point for tours of the Amazon rainforest and the Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve.

   

AMAZON GOLF COURSE

Surrounded by rivers and rainforest, Iquitos, and the Amazon Golf Course are one of the most remote adventure golf destinations.

The Amazon Golf Course was carved out of 24 acres of second growth jungle in 2004. Now, beautiful Amarillo Palm trees line the fairways, with other palms, broadleaf trees, and shrubs landscaped in appropriate places. Located 30 minutes by car from the tourist centre of Iquitos, the adventure starts here. The Amazon Golf Course is a difficult par 72 nine hole course with a par 5. Hazards include piranhas lurking in the water holes. Please, do not disturb the anaconda or other wildlife species that may be resting around the rough.

It is open to the public, and boasts young, attractive female caddies.

If you combine a round of golf with a cruise tour along the Amazon River or a couple of days at one of the lodges, Iquitos and the Amazon Golf Course will provide a life time of memories and stories to share with your family and friends of your adventure to the Amazon River and rainforest.
