Description Typical native houses in Belรฉn, where many are built so they can rise and fall with the water level.
Some call it the "Venice" of the Amazon ...most just call it a slum, which it is
Many of the hundreds of huts here that people call home are floating in the river and rise and fall with the water level throughout the year.

Taken in Belรฉn - peru

Nice photo. Would love to see a place like that for real especially since it's right along the Amazon river. Well done on the photograph. Great clarity too.

It looks like it would be? What's the native language? I'm just curious to know.
