Peru – Celendin
This little city on the Andes near Cajamarca still keeps a fashion of ancient times. Here I met Susan, a corageous Duch women with a son, Yannick, affected by the down sidrome. She decided to stay and built up and organization supporting down people: Proyecto Yannick. Thanks to her I get to be hosted by Carlos and Tania, a family of artists, in their interesting circular house, just outside the city. There I learnt a useful technique to keep the dogs away: prentend to take a stone from the ground and launching at them. Generally it worked out!
Peru – Natives
Bora and Huitoto communities who were originally from Putumayo (Colombia) and moved in Peru after the atrocities committed by the Arana family. They live in villages 8-hour of boat away from Pebas. As you can see, alcohol is a big problem.

Just be careful to the electric race and to that little fish who enter your penis if you pee in the water!

Brazil – Rio Tocantinis
Miracema de Tocanis interrupted our long travel by bus from Brasilia to Belem. Here I almost put the hand on an enormous brown poisonous spider.
Chucheros, un assaggio di pacifico colombiano
Chucheros é un piccolo villaggio di pescatori nel parco nazionale Uramba Bahía Málaga, nel Pacifico Colombiano. Come arrivare a Chucheros Per arrivarci bisogna chiedere del Signor Wilson al molo turistico di Buenaventura e farsi imabarcare su una delle due o tre lancie giornaliere. Quando sono arrivato la barca era gia praticamente piena e mi son seduto sul primo posto che ho visto libero, il peggiore ovviamente. Infatti stavo nell’ultima fila dietro, accanto al motore e c’era un odore tossico di benzina, che é diminuito un po quando siamo partiti, con il vento, in compenso data la velocitá della barca, mentre …
