Visit: the Amazon basin
One of the world’s most untouched places, the Amazon river is a wonderland of lush rainforests and fantastic natural variety. But there’s more to the Amazon than first meets the eye, and, for many years, this wilderness has been home to locals who fish the rivers and the lakes in order to survive.
With arms conditioned by years of fishing and living on the barest of meals – surprisingly filling but lacking that variety which westerners are so used to – a man called Tapioca sinks into his long, one-man boat and pushes off in search of fish. Heading down river across the brown surface of the Amazon, he’s making his way closer to the rainforest, where he hopes to find the Pieroco…the cod of the Amazon, and a monster fish which can grow up to 15ft in length and overpower a small boat.
In the rain-forest there is an ethereal feel which is hard to describe, and the hunter’s Crafts Fabric blends seamlessly with the soft, pastel colours. The forest is flooded at this time of year, meaning that the monkeys which would usually be high up are actually lower down, closer to the waters surface—
…before a pink creature is pulled from the water – large at around 7 feet but still much smaller than the monsters that can evolve
Tapioca spots something…no, wait, he feels something. It’s moving beneath the boat, and he can feel it. Like his father and his father before him, years of being outside in nature have allowed skills to develop which an outsider couldn’t possibly hope to develop.
To begin with he just stares at the water. Then, pulling the spear back, his face becomes steely. Another second, another sign and the spear dives through the water, striking something large. Then the fight ensues. It goes on for some minutes before a pink creature is pulled from the water – large at around 7 feet but still much smaller than the monsters that can evolve in the Amazon.
The fish is taken back to the huts and divided up. Pieces are given to everyone in the village, for these are a kind natured people who care about one another. It is a culture of giving and receiving and fairness and love.
Which is why you simply must visit the Amazon. Make it there and you will be rewarded handsomely.
Of course, it wasn’t always like this. At one time the water was teeming with life, but now only the most experienced catch fish. But, thanks to a new initiative of sustainable fishing, it seems that fish numbers are increasing. Soon there is hope that this community will have a wealth of food available.
