Those nice people, are members of an Amazon Indian tribe - Yagua
As our guide said - They asked a nearby lodge for a land in which they live together - as a tribe, speak their own language, and preserve their traditions - craft, music, clothes and so on, if asked they preformed happily for the tourists in those traditional outfits- as a way to make little money and to share their old way of living.
Here they are teaching us how to use a blowgun.
This image is a tribute to them - to their joy of life, and to old traditons.

The Beni River (Spanish: Río Beni) is a river in the north of Bolivia.It rises north of La Paz and flows northeast. It is the most important tributary of the Madre de Dios River. Two of Beni's tributaries are the Madidi River and the Tuichi River in the Madidi National Park and Madidi National Park respectively. Tuichi River joins the Beni River upstream from the town Rurrenabaque. South of Rurrenabaque, the Beni River runs through the Amazon rainforest. About 30 km (19 mi) before joining the Mamoré River at the Bolivia-Brazil border, the rapids of Cachuela Esperanza interrupt the upstream navigability of the river.

Leticia, Colombia, taken in December 1998. My first time in the Amazon, with Everaldo and Heber, and the infamous Joel, with whom we parted company a few days later at an army barracks late at night just over the border in Brazil. A stage had been set for what looked like go-go dancers, there were soldiers with guns positioned around the perimeter, and at some point, a fully-clad Santa Claus was lowered into the arena. It felt like a scene from a bad Vargas Llosa novel, so we hitched back across to Leticia. I can still remember this storm, though. A highlight. We'd just left the then semi-ruined hotel that had belonged to the American drug trafficker Mike Tsalikis on La Isla de los Micos.
A cold winter morning on the fields inside Amazon territory, the sounds of marching fill the cold air. The call goes out to the warriors of Amazon to defend her land from the incursion of scorpion soldiers. The scorpion soldiers have come for the Amazon gold to fuel there war campaign. The Amazon warriors meet on the battlefield and demand that the scorpions remove their filth from their lands. The scorpions aren’t here to talk, they are here for war and battle insures. The cold steel clashes on the battlefield and the will of Amazon prevails this day.
Two weeks ago, this flooded part of the Amazon River looked very different!

While Amazons are still spotted now any again, it's rare that I see one in as good a condition as this example.

An afternoon fishing trip from the Heliconia reserve to a lagoon known for its piranhas: Heliconia is several hours by boat from Colombia's Leticia and in a side-flow off the Yavari river that marks the border between Peru and Brazil. I caught a sardine (rod&hook) but the two piranhas that I lifted out of the water escaped - my poor technique. My travel buddy B caught five piranhas.

In 2022, I returned to Colombia. The main purpose of this trip was to explore the Amazonian rainforest areas near Leticia and then on the Rio Negro. In 2007 I was in the Leticia area on a volunteering project and the 2022 trip gave me the chance to see more of the area.
As these are border areas, with the rivers travelled actually being the borders, I also visited / transitted through Brazil, Peru and Venezuela. I will create one master set / album for the entire six week trip, plus separate country albums to help viewers who are interested only in a specific country.
I also spent time in Bogota and in the Boyaca region. Overall intinerary: London - Leticia - Bogota - Villavincenzio - Rio Negro - Puerto Inirida - Bogota (incl Nemocon) - Villa de Leyva - Tunja - Bogota - London.

It also features several of his photos.
An old Volvo Amazon from 1966 stood at the junkyard that I visited. I couldn't resist taking an HDR of it.

With five of us wedged into a wobbly, four-seater plane, this is a selection of shots from our sweaty one-hour flight from Manaus, in the Brazilian Amazon, to Novo Aripuana -even deeper in the Amazon- and back. Many thanks to Daniel, the pilot, for permitting the use of electronic devices. Aerial view of the Amazon Rainforest, near Manaus, the capital of the Brazilian state of Amazonas.
