A family excursion.
Mother, father and two kids taking a trip on the Madeira, a tributary to the Amazon-river.
The locals in the Amazon region still carve dug-out canoes from trees in the rainforest. The river is often the main transportation route and the canoe is a common and convenient way of moving around.
