My one night in Pucallpa was possibly the hottest night I have ever had to try and sleep, it must have been about 30°C even in the middle of the night and the humidity was at around 90%. There was a fan on the ceiling but it was the sort that tilted on a motor and was only ever on me for about five seconds, then I would have to wait about another twenty seconds for it to get on me again. I thought I would get to bed early as I had to be up at 4.30am to get a taxi to the port to catch my boat.
