Amazonia LCBO, originally uploaded by Gavatron.

Freddy, one of the local guides that accompanied us, summarized the wealth of the gentleman behind the counter when he told me that his family “own 143 hectares.”

This gentleman’s family , again from Freddy, was a “pioneer family” in the region and consequently has done well for themselves. With their distillery, folks from up and down the river will stop to buy their alcohol here.

As a side-note, you can see illustrations of the owner’s family above the bar. These kinds of mementos seemed to be popular.

  1. Hi Gavan, we came across your stiking photo of the red-bellied piranha fish and we’d love to use it as a cover photo for our March/April AAA Go Magazine (we have a feature story about Amazon trips). We would gladly give you photo credit and copies of the printed publication. Please contact me at your soonest convenience!
