The Amazones de la Confrérie des Gardians perform a carousel in the Roman Arena of Arles, France. This is to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Mireille, the famous poem of Frederic Mistral.
Frédéric Mistral (September 8, 1830, March 25, 1914) was a French poet who led the 19th century revival of Occitan (Provençal) language and literature. He was a key figure in the literary félibrige movement. He shared the Nobel Prize in literature in 1904 for his contributions in literature and philology.

Mireille is also an opera in five acts by Charles Gounod to a French libretto by Michel Carré after Frédéric Mistral's poem Mireio. Gounod was charmed by the originality of the work, the story being much less contrived than many of those on the operatic stage at the time. During the course of composition Gounod spent much time in Provence (12 March to the end of May 1863), visiting the sites of the action in the poem/opera, and met Mistral on several occasions at his home in Maillane. Gounod stayed at the Hôtel de la Ville Vert in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, and was treated to a banquet by the townspeople on May 26. Presenting class differences in a rural setting was not usual at the time, and as Huebner comments "some early reviewers had difficulty accepting that a 'mere' country girl could sing a heroic aria such as "En marche". It has been argued that "what matters in this extended lyric poem is not the story but the rich tapestry or Provençal traditions, beliefs and customs"

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!

The Yagua Indians deep in the Peruvian Amazon were hospitable to us. They have an incredible ability to use their blow dart guns to hunt monkeys and other animals. They can hit a monkey from 100 yards away with the dart that is laced with the curare that comes from the poinson dart frogs in the area. As you probably know this causes paralysis of the victim even if inoculated w only a little poison - it is very potent!
We got to shoot the dart guns by blowing into them. My first try was ridiculously poor. But after 2-3 shots I was able to hit a tree that was a foot wide from 10 yards out. I'm glad I don't need to hit a monkey or bird 100 yards away to eat!

The cover on the website is different so I wasn't expecting this as I opened the parcel. My jaw dropped. So gorgeous. I just sat there stroking it for a while before cracking it open.
Such a fantastic read as well. Though to be honest the art inside is a bit of a let-down.
Fernando Rios Tulumba, manager for Project Amazonas in Iquitos, Peru pilots the hospital boat "Tucunare" up the Rio Mazan. The Tucunare is packed with doctors, nurses, dentists, and volunteers on its way to provide free health clinics to six villages in the Peruvian Amazon. This photograph is part of a solution which provides health care to over 30,000 people in the Amazon rainforest each year. Learn more about what we do at NGO AidJoy.

After dinner on the first full day we headed back out at 9:30pm to go caiman spotting. Our guide was francineto or Franc as he said to call him. He can spot this caiman out from a far off distance. We hall ass down the river with only him holding a spotting light and he waves it around and the driver knows exactly what he wants. Franc gets the boat where he wants it and lays down and hangs over the boat and pulls out a caiman. He did this more than once. I told him to pull in the 6 foot ones but we never even saw those. You know there out there you just don't see them.
