About the indian village of Cana\u00e1n:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The rural community of Canaan is located on the banks of the Tahuayo River, about fifty kilometers from Iquitos, capital of the region of Loreto. It is located in the heart of the regional conservation area of Tamshiyacu-Tahuayo (400,000 hectares).<\/p>\n

The main economic activities of this small village of about 200 people (35 families) are fishing, hunting, production and sale of cassava, plantains and charcoal. Several residents are also making handcrafts (jewelry, decorative items, bags, etc.) to increase their income. The financial resources of families are extremely low and their diet is poor because of the restricted diversity of agricultural crops.<\/p>\n

The only access to the city is the river, paved roads being almost inexistent around Iquitos. The residents use traditional wooden boats called “peque-peque” to move between communities or to Iquitos to sell the surplus of agricultural production, fishing, or charcoal. The village has a primary school for children aged 3 to 12 years. The college for older children is located in the nearby small town of Tamshiyacu, like the health post.<\/p>\n

As most villages in the Amazon, Canaan lives at the rhythm of the sun. Residents enjoy lower temperatures at sunrise to work their land (planting, maintenance, harvesting crops, depending on the season) until mid-day. The afternoon is usually dedicated to additional activities or relaxing: manufacture of boats, home maintenance, and installation of fishing nets, football or volleyball.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
