Puerto de Maldonado

PUERTO MALDONADO, Perú.-La visita a una de las regiones más bellas y ricas en diversidad de la selva amazónica de Perú empieza en la pequeña ciudad de Puerto Maldonado, donde se llega en avión y que está al borde de la unión de los ríos Madre de Dios y Tambopata, muy cerca de la frontera con Brasil. Allí nos espera un avispado y valiente joven de 24 años, nuestro guía, José Antonio Saavedra, quien se encarga de explicarnos cómo se pobló esta región multicultural hace cientos de años con los primeros incas que huían de la Conquista española que ya había llegado a la sierra de Perú. Tal vez una de las experiencias más inolvidables fue la pesca artesanal de pirañas en el lago Tres Chimbadas, acompañados de nuestro inseparable José Antonio, quien ponía las carnadas de pequeños pedazos de ca...

• Peru: Hunt Oil Contract to Reignite Amazon Uprising?

Campesino demands for land titles were united with indigenous demands for territorial rights, while federations representing small miners, Brazil-nut harvesters, Puerto Maldonado moto-taxi drivers, and other sectors also joined the strike, uniting in an Alliance of Federations. "Laws are being systematically ignored by the company and the government," Corisepa charges.\n Citing potential damage to aquifers, the tribunal ruled against a consortium including Repsol, Petrobras, and Occidental Petroleum, ordering a halt to exploration in the reserve until a master plan is in place.

• When He Was Puerto Rican; Adal Maldonado's Political Artwork at Taller Puertorriqueño Explores Issues of Cultural Identity.

[Adal Maldonado]'s sprawling multimedia works at Taller Puertorriqueño, Coconauts in Space and Blueprints for a Nation, are conceptual art with heart and humor. While the works riff on being Puerto Rican in America, parodying such things as religious iconography and island superstitions, Maldonado's not just mocking his culture. Maldonado refers to being Puerto Rican-born in America as "blurry" or "borroso." In Blue-prints for a Nation the artist presents as evidence his experience growing up jíbaro (a country bumpkin) in Puerto Rico's mountainous interior. The photographs and videos in the jíbaro section are crisp, documentary and full of detail (though there's a little too much emphasis in the video on the graphic slaughter of a pig for a holiday feast). Maldonado doesn't want to get ...

• Long-Awaited Brazil-Peru Highway Nears Completion

PUERTO MALDONADO, Peru - The road crashes through the jungle like the fevered dream of the indomitable Fitzcarraldo, who schemes to transport a steamship overland through the Peruvian tropics in a cult film celebrating demented ambition. The Transoceanic Highway, evoking engineering marvels such as the Transcontinental Railroad and the Panama Canal, has been talked about for decades, assuming a mythic stature that has led many to question whether the east-west thoroughfare linking Brazil's Atlantic ports with the Pacific docks of Peru would ever come to pass.

En su mensaje, los obispos hicieron un llamado a fin de que se siga una política de acción gubernamental guiada a "respetar los principios éticos y morales", añadiendo que "el recurso a la violencia, a la fuerza y a la intolerancia serán siempre caminos destructivos". En rueda de prensa, el arzobispo Miguel Cabrejos Vidarte deTrujillo, presidente de la Conferencia Episcopal Peruana, exhortó al nuevo gobierno a "gobernar el Perú para todos los peruanos y con todos los peruanos".
