Iquitos: Museum Of Native Cultures, Belen Market.
Iquitos is the largest city in the Peruvian rainforest and the fifth-largest city of Peru. It is also the capital city of the Loreto Region and Maynas Province. Located in the Amazon Basin, the city is along the Amazon, Nanay and Itaya rivers. Its name in Iquito language translates to the people. The city proper with its four districts has a population of 422,055; 462,783 live within the Iquitos Metropolitan Area, making it in the sixth-largest metropolitan area of the country. The official city nickname is Capital of the Peruvian Amazon.
At the swampy confluence of the Amazon, Nanay and Itaya Rivers, Iquitos is the port city located farthest inland in the world, some 2,000 miles upriver from the Atlantic Ocean. Surrounded by water, accessible only by air or boat, the conveyance of choice is the motorcycle, attached like a pony to a covered carriage for two. The relentless green of the jungle cracks open about five miles from the town center to reveal a dusty, churning maze of concrete and dirt roads, and cinder block and concrete buildings painted shades of faded red, lime, teal and brown. Here one finds all the trappings of civilization from the graceful, Moorish architecture of Spain with arched porticoes on low-rise cement buildings to 18th-century churches, modern casinos, cracked concrete streets and barges heavy with lumber and other jungle resources, including oil and gold, extracted for the outside world.
Iquitos has vibrant, unique, complex and diverse culture, and is regarded as cultural hub that meeting the Peruvian Amazon, according to Lonely Planet. Many natives visit the city to present their dances or sell their crafts. It also brings a wealth of customs and traditions remained considerably over the years and in the Iquitos calendar, between her festivities, cuisine, Spanish accent and mythology. Currently, its culture is undergoing an impetuous transition to a contemporary level to preserve their traditions with innovative art movements.
One of the main factors of the traditional cultural energy of Iquitos is Amazonian mythology, which has a range of characters, identified by folklore in imaginary beings. Many of the legendary beings, with appearances motivated by local geography, have powers and influenced much in agriculture and worldview of Iquitos. The dance and music, a mix of indigenous and mestizo heritage are closely related to the meanings of mythology, and also with the life of the citizen and Amazonian villager.
The complex cultural life of Iquitos consists mainly of native iquiteños, Brazilians, Colombians, Chineses and settled expatriates ethnicities. The term charapa culture generally refers to social, cultural and artistic movements of Iquitos.

아마존박물관 입구에는 원주민들의 모습을 재현해놓은 동상들이 관람객을 맞이하고 있다. “약 45개의 조각상이 있는데, 다 유리섬유 재질로 만든 거예요. 이들은 이키토스를 대표해요.” 19세기 말 고무농장이 번창하면서 이곳 아마존 지역 또한 최고의 부와 번영을 누렸다. 하지만 당시 백인들의 고무 산업에 동원됐던 이곳 원주민들에게는 고된 노동만이 강요됐다. 부족의 명예와 삶의 터전을 모두 잃어버린 이들은 이제 박물관의 유물로만 겨우 명맥을 이어가고 있다.

Brien Foerster. The 7th.International Amazonian Shamanism Conference July 2011 Iquitos,Peru
Part 3. Peru became his next major area of interest. The study of the Inca culture led to his writing a book, A Brief History Of The Incas which is available on this site, and is also actively engaged with native Shipibo people from the central Amazon of Peru, promoting the sale of their traditional arts and crafts. shipibospirit.com Ayahuasca helped him to anchor the reasoning as to why he was in Peru, and time spent here has resulted in enough accumulated knowledge to lead him to open hiddenincatours.com; an educational vehicle for delving into the deeper aspects and mysteries of who lived in and around Cusco prior to the Inca. It is very clear that the enigmatic stone structures so easily ascribed by academics as being of Inca construction are not.

During the early 20th-century rubber boom, it attracted many European immigrants; they contributed to a period of wealth and great social and commercial development that resulted in its unique urban and cultural identity. The city originally was developed from an Indian Reduction developed by Jesuit missionaries along the Nanay river circa 1757 with the name San Pablo de Napeanos. The town was inhabited by the Napeanos and Iquito people. At the present time, the city has become a destination in the Peruvian Amazon, due to historic architecture, cuisine, landscapes, accent, nightlife and diverse cultural movement. It is a cosmopolitan city with strong Amazonia roots.
The city can be reached only by airplane or boat, with the exception of a road to Nauta, a small town roughly 100 km (62 mi) south. It is the largest city in the world that is inaccessible by road. Ocean vessels of 3,000 to 9,000 tons.

Iquitos a través de Christian Bendayán | La Mula (Marzo 2012)
El Paraíso del Diablo
Iquitos a través de la pintura de Christian Bendayán
Mientras más conoces del origen de la obra, puedes acercarte mucho más al mensaje afirma Christian Bendayán, artista —y enamorado— de Iquitos. Y es justamente sobre Iquitos que pinta Bendayán, quien trata siempre de dar a conocer su tierra de origen y los personajes que en ella habitan. Para él, esa ciudad de la que pinta es un paraíso; un paraíso que el diablo —encarnado en políticos y extraños— está destruyendo, sea por obra o por omisión.
Bendayán, quien es además promotor cultural y exdirector del antiguo Instituto Nacional de Cultura de Iquitos, ve su ciudad como solo un iquiteño puede verla, e intenta, con sus obras, compartir ese punto de vista, porque para querer y defender lo propio, hay que conocerlo.
El Paraíso del Diablo retrata a Iquitos sin filtros ni censuras, tal como Bendayán lo ve. La muestra, en exhibición hasta el viernes 16 de marzo en la Sala Luis Miró Quesada Garland, en Miraflores, acoge un promedio de mil visitas al día, récord que iguala el número de visitas diarias de El Cine Según Vargas Llosa, la muestra más exitosa de dicha galería.

Peru: Protecting the Amazon
The indigenous peoples of Loreto, Peru, understand the value of the Amazon and the resources it provides. For more than 10 years, they have become environmental monitors to track and report the impact of oil activity in the region. The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is working together with the Peruvian government and indigenous environmental monitors to identify strategies to remedy the territories impacted.

The Arapaima (Pirarucu or Paiche) AMAZON RIVER MONSTER [The Deep Sea Monster & Big Fish]
The Arapaima (Pirarucu or Paiche) AMAZON RIVER MONSTER [The Deep Sea Monster & Big Fish]
The arapaima, pirarucu, or paiche are any large species of bonytongue in the genus Arapaima native to the Amazon and Essequibo basins of South America. Genus Arapaima is the type genus of the family Arapaimidae.[1][2] They are among the world's largest freshwater fish, reaching as much as 4.5 m (15 ft).[1] They are important food fish. They have declined in the native range due to overfishing and habitat loss. In contrast, arapaima have been introduced to several tropical regions outside the native range (within South America and elsewhere) where they are sometimes considered invasive species.[3] Its local name, pirarucu, derives from the indigenous words for pira meaning fish and urucum meaning red.
Arapaima was traditionally regarded as a monotypic genus, but later several species were distinguished.[2][4][5] As a consequence of this taxonomic confusion, most earlier studies were done using the name A. gigas, but this species is only known from old museum specimens and the exact native range is unclear. The regularly seen and studied species is A. arapaima,[4][5][6] although a small number of A. leptosoma also have been recorded in the aquarium trade.[7] The remaining species are virtually unknown: A. agassizii from old detailed drawings (the type specimen itself was lost during World War II bombings) and A. mapae from the type specimen.[2][4][5] A. arapaima is relatively thickset compared to the remaining species.[4][5]
Arapaima can reach lengths of more than 2 m (6 ft 7 in), in some exceptional cases even more than 2.5 m (8 ft 2 in) and over 100 kg (220 lb). The maximum recorded weight for the species is 200 kg (440 lb), while the longest recorded length was 4.52 m (15 ft). As a result of overfishing, large arapaima of more than 2 m (6 ft 7 in) are seldom found in the wild.
The arapaima is torpedo-shaped with large blackish-green scales and red markings. It is streamlined and sleek, with its dorsal and anal fin set near its tail.
Arapaima scales have a mineralised, hard, outer layer with a corrugated surface under which lie several layers of collagen fibres.[10] In a structure similar to plywood, the fibres in each successive layer are oriented at right angles to those in the previous layer, increasing toughness. The hard, corrugated surface of the outer layer, the soft but tough internal orthogonal collagen layers and the hydration of the scales all contribute to their ability to flex and deform while providing strength—a solution that allows the fish to remain mobile while heavily armored.
The arapaima has a fundamental dependence on surface air to breathe. In addition to gills, it has a modified and enlarged swim bladder, composed of lung-like tissue, which enables it to extract oxygen from the air.[11]
