The lodge had just released their 50th anniversary and should be the natural experience. The lodgings and paths were lit with oil lamps. To be able to devote himself entirely natural to hear the voices of the jungle, there were power only in the main buildings, not in the lodgings.
It was Saturday and soon after my return from the Amazon, I realized that nothing would be an idyllic jungle night. The “voices” were probably more extremely loud music. From about 1:30 to about 6:30 clock was once again a 5-minute loop as we had already experienced in Tencua. The bass were not nearly as loud as in Tencua, natural voices, however, was still nothing more heard. As we learned in the morning, there was a disco in the neighboring Indian village.
After breakfast we went to an Indian village (light brown marker) on the opposite bank of the Amazon.
At the first hut – off the beaten track:
Forward you can see a way – it was going to connect all houses with such a concrete walkway.
We were told, sand is found enough locally, only they have to get the cement. Around the hut is an unassuming gardens filled with (medical) crop.
In the village we saw a leave-looking school. It is said that Peru sometime had an Australian minister, who have done much for the education. Then someone had the idea that a foreigner cannot be a minister. Since that time it will be worse and worse with the schools.
In the settlement, there was also a kindergarten. It was interesting that we can read a roster. How many employees did not have the kindergarten. It looked more as all women would alternate in the village.
Around noon we were back at our lodge. In the afternoon we went to the nearby Indian village or its “tourist district”: They showed us traditional dances. Participate was encouraged. Then was a demonstration of the blowgun shooting. Those who wished could also try. The “quarter” was quite separately, out of sight of the real Indian village. It had obviously been created especially for tourist visits.
