5 days on a cargo boat through the Amazon


Loading cargo in blisteringly hot conditions in Pucallpa. Port is literally wherever a boat can nestle up against the bank and changes with the height of the river. The boat leaves when cargo is full.














Captain of the Baylon II, Eli Hidalgo Beso from Huanaco. On the river for 21 years and with the Baylon II since its maiden voyage 8 months ago. He oversees 21 crew.


















Dinner, seriously










Arriving into Iquitos, early hours of the morning.
