Redesigning my website

There’s new domain: daperu.org, and I’m working to build the site. It will be different to the old one hoping to make it interactive.

I would like visitors can send comments, and ask for any information about Desarrollo amazonico en peru, voluntourism, and all activities we are developing in Iquitos, and surrounding communities.

New budget for math contest.

During the last few months, our team was developing the new budget for the math contest. It has included more items not seen in previous one. This is due to new ideas in order to make it more “popular” between primary, and high school students.

Keep moving

Dec. 19, 2008.

The ferry was sailing during the whole morning. By afternoon, we all were really tired. Most of the landscape is just jungle, and more jungle. A few stops in some communities, and then keep moving…

Sailing along the Marañon river

December 19, 2008.

After we left Nauta, the ferry headed to the Marañon river, another tributary of the Amazonas river. The travel was slow, and peaceful, in moments it can be bored, because the only things you see are trees, and forest… so you kill the time chatting with another passengers or just lay down in you hammock, although I should say it’s hard to keep in your hammock when it’s very hot….

A stop in Nauta

The first stop after spending the night in the ferry. Nauta is a small city around 100km far away from Iquitos. Now there’s a good road that helps to make faster travels. Years before, we had to take a ferry to get to Nauta.
