Dawn lifts like a curtain over the muddy swell of the Amazon as a motorized skiff slips from Iquitos' riverbank. The air is humid and alive: a chorus of birds calls from the canopy, leaves drip from last night’s rain, and the river itself seems to push the boat forward as if encouraging the day’s discoveries.
