The Jungle around “Coca” and Local Friends
The creepy jungle floor of the Amazonia
Everything appears oversized in the jungle
Stunning isolated jungle waterfalls, where you can swim, bathe and relax. Far, far away from civilization, deep inside the magic of the jungle
Dark, moist, quit places in the bottom of the jungle
Our local friend, Jaime, is explaining about the weird tree that walks, as it keeps growing new roots and can move across the junglefloor
Love the details of the jungle
The beautiful green expanse of life
Millions and millions of insects in Amazonia
Junglefloor, alive
Colorful jungle flowers
Butterflies are rarely shy and love to pose for my camera

The Construction of a Jungle Raft: “La Balsa”
The first construction materials that we buy: 34 sticks of bamboo, approx 10m long.
Considering various designs for a raft…
Finding some large 200 liter used plastic barrels at a local scrapyard in our poor neighborhood
Peycho, proudly presenting our first joint
The local family from whom we rent the land during the construction have been helping us a lot with the construction. Here they are showing us how to tie the bamboo joints in a very strong manner
Carrying materials: the 10m bamboo sticks weigh up to 50kg each.
And the raft is floating! We have to get it into the water early before it gets too heavy
Installing the barrels
The local Father, Jorge, is helping us tie the bamboo joints
A machete is great tool for construction.
Slowly, it is taking from…
Discussing the option of a sail…
The wonderful local family, from whom we are renting some land during the construction. The father and his two 20-something sons help us construct the raft while the women cook lunch for us. The family belong to the Shuar Trinbe who have lived in the Amazonia jungle for milennia. The father is preparing some fishingnets in this photo.
The rood support is ready to be installed

Roof done!
How do you make a cheap fireplace/grill?
… you go to the local Ecuadorian scrapyard and buy the bottom 20cm of an oil-barrel and a old metalframe for a table, then weld it together. In the bottom of the photo is our two anchors, also made cheap from the local scrapyard with the help of a car-mechanic who could cut and weld metal.
