I'm not 100% sure but I believe this to be a school boat. It goes up and down the river picking up kids for school. I've see it in other areas of the river so I think this is what this is as well.

For details see 'Cusco, Trekking and South of Peru'. The Manu National Park was created in 1973 and established a Biosphere reserve in 1977; in 1987 it was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, due to the world´s highest biodiversity in Manu.
It is one of the largest and most important conservation units of the world, it protects an entire virgin watershed, covering altitudinal ranges from 200 m to 4100 m above sea level.
Amazon Travel Why go to Manu?
• Amazon Travel Ecotourism and Conservation
Manu is a very rich/ biodiverse but fragile ecosystem. Being home of several endangered species, e.g. Giant Otter, Harpy Eagle, Giant Anteater, Ocelot and Wooly Monkey, ecologically sustainable tourism in Manu is imperative and a low tourism flow is favourable.
Visitors should be informed about rainforest conservation and favorabletourism activities have to be controled ( e.g. don´t get too close to the animals). Ecotourism also is an important economic activity for the inhabitants of the rainforest that permits its use without distroying the rainforest resources.
That´s why it´s very important to involve local people in Manu tourism!
I raised this snake from a baby. Amazons can be very aggressive, but this girl was very friendly and easy to hold. I usually hand feed my snakes and hold them at the same time. Many poeple do not recommend that but I find many snakes that are said to be mean or spook easy get along better with regular handling and hand feeding. This snake also escaped but only popped up on my dresser asking for food not running. So I did reward her.
This Amazon was bought from a friend of mine who'd spent a lot of money with Tony Barrett (The Old Volvo Guy).
If memory serves me right I think he had the engine rebuilt in Sweden as he'd planned do some racing...but things changed and he sold the car to me!
It was a quick car, I kept it for many year and only sold it back to Tony when I moved to Canada for a year or so...Tony took the engine out and dropped it in his Amazon.

Greenpeace activists hand out these "secret message" coffee mugs to Amazon employees outside their offices in Seattle, Washington on September 25, 2014. They were encouraging the company to use its innovation to power the Internet with renewable energy. The mugs, normally look like the one on the left, black . When filled with a hot beverage, they change to white and reveal the Greenpeace message. Photo by Greenpeace
