Santa Rosa Travel Guide

When crossing from Tabatinga or Leticia to Santa Rosa, Peru for the boat to Iquitos, you will be leaving so early in the morning it will be completely dark. It is best to stay at one of the guesthouses in Tabatinga (very cheap anyways) that arrange the boat, because they will pick you up and ferry you to customs. (may still have to pay for taxi and ferry, but very cheap) Anyways having this organized makes it easier when it is the early hours of the morning and your spanish/portuguese is even more groggy than your sleepy self. When we arrived at customs we had to wait for the customs lady to wake up and stamp our passports.
