Venice of the Jungle

At the southeast end of town is the floating shantytown of Belén, consisting of scores of huts, built on rafts, which rise and fall with the river. During the low-water months, these rafts sit on the river mud and are dirty and unhealthy, but for most of the year they float on the river − a colorful and exotic sight. Seven thousand people live here, and canoes float from hut to hut selling and trading jungle produce.
