An Amazon Basin shortcut! This impromptu collection of buildings sprang up at the head of a small road (mostly for motorcycles rickshaws) that connects the main channel of the Amazon to the nearby Napo River and the community of Mazan. This 1.8 mile, 10 foot wide concrete path saves local people a days journey if they are coming by canoe or small boat from villages or towns on the Napo River in route to Iquitos.
