Belén District is one of 13 districts of the Maynas Province and it is well known for its market that sells anything caught and raised in the region, drawing fisherman and farmers alike to the city. We were able to ride through the entire Belen Market with a motorcycle, but we stopped at the flood plains at the edge of the Itaya River where this photograph was taken. The city is home to around 60,000 people, most of whom live in extreme poverty on the banks of the river.
