| In the heart of the Peruvian jungle, there is a city called Iquitos, which is surrounded by three rivers. It is like an island in the middle of the forest. Since its founding, it has been a strategic harbor in the river Amazonas with a special bound with nature. Iquitos loves and lives thanks to nature, but at the same time it destroys and contaminates her. The initial harmony that made Peruvians associate this land to the word "paradise" is nowadays hidden by the actions of men. Iquitos is thus place that gets far away, every day, from once it was before. What is then left in its place? No longer a shore, but a gap between the needs of man and nature, between the city and the Amazon; an uncertain frontier, though still magic and wild territory. |
