Guide USE-IT
Le guide USE-IT sono super e sono quelle che mi hanno dato l’ispirazione per fare la piccola guida di Roma. Sono scritte da locali, per locali o per viaggiatori atipici, e hanno spesso dei piccoli uffici dove danno le guide stampate, ci si può lasciare o zaino per la giornata o bere un caffè https://www.use-it.travel/home

Bolivia – Salar de Uyuni
Peru – Celendin
This little city on the Andes near Cajamarca still keeps a fashion of ancient times. Here I met Susan, a corageous Duch women with a son, Yannick, affected by the down sidrome. She decided to stay and built up and organization supporting down people: Proyecto Yannick. Thanks to her I get to be hosted by Carlos and Tania, a family of artists, in their interesting circular house, just outside the city. There I learnt a useful technique to keep the dogs away: prentend to take a stone from the ground and launching at them. Generally it worked out!
Peru – Natives
Bora and Huitoto communities who were originally from Putumayo (Colombia) and moved in Peru after the atrocities committed by the Arana family. They live in villages 8-hour of boat away from Pebas. As you can see, alcohol is a big problem.
Peru – Pebas
Pebas is a little village on the Amazon river, between Leticia and Iquitos. I arrived there thanks to a girl met in Brazil, Carolina who told me about a lovely family who used to host travelers.
Peru – los israelitas
In Peru there is this religious group who call themselves “Israelitas”. They don’t cut their hair and beard and the women cover their hair. Their sacred place is a little village on the Amazon river, called “Altomonte de Israel”, but you can see isrealitas everywhere in the country. They will be very happy if you call them “hermanito” or “hermanita”.
Brazil – Alter do Chao
Alter do Chao is probably one of the most alternative and hippie meeting point of the Brazilian Amazon. Surrounded by eco-communities, its clear water, free from crocodils (Jakarè) and piranhas allow you to swim. Just be careful to the electric race and to that little fish who enter your penis if you pee in the water!
