  • Whilst snooping around the backstreets of Belén in Iquitos, I noticed a pair of staring eyes locked in on me.
    That's when I met Armando, who would soon become my first friend in Iquitos.
    Vamos!

You literally went into the ghetto even though you were warned you might get robbed.. then went on a boat with two randoms to a bar in the middle of the amazon got a 6 pack and partied with a tuk tuk driver.. Mate i applaud you for being so alive and free.

    I did these type of trips as a fearless young man in the 90's in Latin America and Asia, including in some war zones. I thought nothing of it. I tried to blend in as much as possible, and was always wanting to learn more about the people in the places I was,.and to push out a little further. I wanted to be where no tourists were. Locals were always caring, helpful, curious, and happy I wanted to know about their lives. I helped them out as much as I could and always respected them and their culture. Sure, I got into some pretty scary situations at times, and looking back was pretty careless despite always having my wits about me. I wouldn't take any of it back though, and don't regret a single adventure. Crazy to think Kurt is making a living off this now. There are very few rushes like this. I know how it feels Kurt! Thanks for helping me relieve my adventures! Many more safe ones to you!

    This is awesome for me because I was there in Iquitos in January. I had no guide though - I saw that area and was very curious to go there but knew it would be dangerous if I went alone. I had an awesome time in that city though - great nightlife around the town square and safe enough at night. However, one day I walked out to the Amazon and went through a completely sketchy area by the port - I was sure I was going to be robbed but I had no choice but to walk back the way I came to get out of it. The streets were dirt and dust was flying everywhere along with more garbage than I have ever seen in public....but it was a thriving area full of people and traffic - just extremely poor compared to the centre of town where the hotels are. I also saw guys just hanging around on the corner with cellphones - sent the hair up on my back and knew I needed to get out of there without looking like I needed to get out of there! In the end I wasn't robbed - but I consider myself extremely lucky as I am usually very careful. Iquitos is fascinating because it is the largest city in the world with no direct road access - you either have to take a weekly barge from the coast or fly in. No roads connect. But when you are there you can't believe there are 400,000 people living in the middle of nowhere with traffic jams, etc. Amazing. So glad I found your video - brings back good memories - the people there (in spite of the sketchy area) were AWESOME! IN fact, a guy saved me from missing my flight by getting me a third vaccine shot (for free even!) when they suddenly made it a rule for people over 50 to have a third shot after I had already flown in. Total stranger, he just negotiated with the clinic and everyone let me go to the front of the line so I wouldn't miss my flight - he wouldn't even accept a tip until I insisted a third time. Also, not a single person in line ahead of me complained, they all smiled and said I was a guest - that whole episode still brings tears to my eyes. Peru as a whole was one of the best adventures I have ever had and I have been to 80 countries.

There was a point where Armando said "Not over there because that's where the young dudes who will rob you are". Sure he might've been looking for an extra buck from a gringo but he did it the right way; with good service, friendliness, and fun. Not to mention he's been making an honest buck as a moto taxi driver for 30+ years. All around a decent human being who wouldn't go so low as to rob you. Good guy.

    To everyone who seriously believes Kurt didn't know that he was overcharged: As a gringo, he was allowed to be driven on the river spontaneously with a camera in a dangerous ghetto. Driving, filming + protection is the money worth and he knows they really need it. In Venice,Italy you pay 80€ for a boring 30-minute drive, so 12€ is change for him and don't forget that he earn money through it on RUclips. Take and give💯, props to Kurt 🍻

      I am spanish living in Peru. To be overcharged in Iquitos is the most usual thing for an outsider. I believe Kurt simply does not complain cause he understands this people may need it more than himself. On top, they are making an honest living even if they do not charge the same as to locals. Completely agree with your point, when I am overcharged by very humble people in Peru and I see need in their faces, sometimes is best not to complain, let's call it tourist tax. By the way, this seems horrible place for a tourist looking for a resort, but Iquitos is a gem for those who really want to understand the local thing. Cheers!!

    I used to be a Police Officer in Rio de Janeiro and I must confess that watching the places where he goes really makes me worried. These are places I would never go without my team and a couple of guns to protect myself from being attacked... However, as you guys can see, it is all about attitude. The way he respects the locals, the culture, and the rules, makes him be fully respected. He is so confident that nobody messes up with him. He treats every single person well and shows them that he really cares about them. He knows their real value. Lots of respect for Kurt. Channel subscribed.

      He is smart in how he approaches danger, for one traveling during day time is a big key factor when it comes to safety, also this whole area is very populated. At worst, he'd lose his money & camera & phone. But I don't think anyone would kill him for that. Also getting a local as a guide is smart, reduces the chances of getting into trouble. Most of the dangerous places are dangerous, for 1% of the time. So it's a matter of luck (or bad luck).

    Things you can find yourself doing when you wholeheartedly take in a culture by showing you understand them and are trying to communicate and are genuinely interested in the ppl and their daily lives you could tell they wanted to protect him at all costs and show a good time.

    Probably my favorite video. Best part is meeting a new stranger from a different country and hanging out having fun. No drama. Hope to see you meet more characters like Armando.

    Forget BBC, ITV, Netflix, National Geographic now we tune into Kurt Caz most evenings and can't get enough of this guy. Love your content Kurt and if you ever visit the UK tap me up and I'll take you to some dangerous pubs where you can meet some dodgy locals lol
