Dug out of a single
tree, Their sides are
raised about 8" and
they are strengthened
with ribs, across
which seats are placed.
They shoot up the
rapids without much
problem, probably
because of the skill of
their crew.  (That's
rainwater at the
bottom of the boat)
Base camp falls -  the
color of the water is
the result of tannins
washed out of the
surrounding jungle
giving the river the
color of tea
Young adventurers

Our only portage was
early in the trip
It was a beautiful
walk
Back on board, we
went on for about
