Communidad Ankuash (2014)

Traveled 12 hours to Puyo, Ecuador by bus. Six hours to Macas. Midnight bus, all night from Sucua to Puerto Santiago fifteen miles from the Peruvian border. 3am long boat Indigenous taxi to Communidad Ankuash. We drank traditional chicha. We were guided to the emmense lagoons were hundreds of jungle animals live to see them in this raw landscape. Community elders talked about the first western clothes they had, first use of plastic products and first uses of western dollars around the fire at night.
