Staying at Tutusima (Boca Manu, Peru)

This is the modest house of my friend Tutusima - only the left half. He is a "colono", coloniser of mixed ethnicity (indian and something else - quechua, european, etc.), which seem to be the majority in the jungle. There are also indians, we passed by a village just next to Boca, they live in much more basic conditions - and perhaps closer to true nature..

The small photo on the left is a spider eating a big fat cockroach, frequent "guests" at his place. On the right, a friend of him had found/captured two little monkeys, he was going to raise and sell them. I held one of them, so cute and warm, but he pissed on my hand - and I got a rash!
