Boca de Mamiraua

The village of Boca de Mamiraua lies in an inner delta between Japura and Solimoes rivers, in the middle of Amazonia. This area is flooded every year so the houses have to be built on stilts. Sometimes there is unusually high water anyway, one can see a watermark on houses and trees. There is an evangelical church in the middle of the village where church music is played with electric guitars. There is no shortage of fish in the area, some are too big to be consumed fresh and are dried like washing on a line. The people there say they are not Indians but caboclos, the river people. 

One thing to note: these days one can roughly estimate the latitude of a place if a satellite dish is in the picture. The satellite is stationary and as such it has to be over the equator. Amazon is almost on the equator so the dishes face directly up.
