Kids of Boca da Valeria - a photo on Flickriver

Kids of Boca da Valeria

“A collection of thatched huts on stilts is all you see as you first approach this storied Amazon River port. Once you tender in, you realize that the lack of infrastructure is what makes Boca da Valeria, home to about 75 people, so special.

Boca da Valeria has become the quintessential native village stop on the Amazon, and many buildings and private homes are open to tour. The church, the one-room school, and the bar are key among the public buildings. This offers a glimpse into a simpler, low-tech way of life that still isn’t entirely cut off from civilization: When not in native dress, locals wear jeans and T-shirts, and there are satellite TV dishes atop the houses.

Boca da Valeria (mouth of the Valeria) is the meeting point of two rivers: the Amazon and the Rio da Valeria. You can see it from your cruise ship or a skiff.”
