Belén market

Over 150 native communities from upriver come down to the market of Belén to sell their produce in the market. Belen is the hub of every village within miles, chaotic, flavorful, practical and superstitious, thriving on and above a strip of land that is seasonally flooded. For a series of photo-essays on Belén, check out the Belén Street Market, Pasaje Paquito (if you want to buy exotic drinks this is the place), and Floating in Belén.
