亚马孙热带雨林，美洲原住民儿童十分可爱，他们的生活也早已融入了现代。
值得一提的是，附近水淹森林中就有成群的水虎鱼（食人鱼）出没，但孩子们依然在水中嬉戏。看来宽阔的水面是不适合水虎鱼活动的。

The Canopy Walkway is at a height of over 35 meters (115 feet) and extends for 500 meters (one-third of a mile) and provides a view of the rainforest from within the treetops. The suspended walkway is spread between 14 platforms attached to the area's largest rainforest trees and is one of the longest canopy walkways in the world.

Manú National Park encompasses a large section of the Peruvian Amazon and is so remote and roadless that only speedboats can take you deep inside. Because of its elevation range, the park contains one of the highest levels of biodiversity in the world. Overall, more than 15,000 species of plants are found in Manú, and up to 250 varieties of trees have been found in a single hectare.

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"
