The calm and beautiful waterfront of Mazan
Boats are occupying the waterfront of Iquitos for kilometers on end
Our small boat that we had ordered for production while we were in Quito for 250 USD. It was ready by the time we returned.
Local families, transiting market products down the Mazan River.
Beautiful reflections along the quit shore of Mazan River
Quit sunset on the Mazan River
Tiny mushrooms on the sweet-smelling decaying jungle-floor
Butterfly against our bamboo railing
Parked at the shore of the small Mazan River
Ohh so quit on the Mazan
Producing the planks, piece by piece
Nice, smooth workmanship
Deep in the jungle, our floor is being produced. Here, the chain is being changed.
Mushrooms in all colors
A family?
Locals of La Libertad: teenagers hanging out, very shy when they noticed my presence.
Local of La Libertad
The Community of La Libertad
Our new floor is arriving
The 5 men that visited our raft early one morning, to make sure we didn’t have any bad intentions in the local community.
Locals of La Libertad: The dad politely asked if we had any work he could help with and afterwards asked if I would please take a photo of his family.
The next generation of La Libertad: to “break the ice” we invited the kids for popcorn on-board our raft
Local kids are showing us their dinner. Our new floor is drying in the background.
Our new floor, installed and ready
Saying goodbye to our friends in La Libertad
