Fresh market, at Sao Gabriel da Cachoeira, Amazonas.
The Negro River doesn't have a generous offer of fishes, and the people living at Sao Gabriel, almost 1000 km far from Manaus, still receive a lot of needs from this city. A long journey by boat that takes between 4 to 7 days.

In the fresh market is possible to find a few fresh things, like fish, flour, cassava, some local fruits... but food can be a hard thing. In this city where mostly of the population (99%) are indigenous people, they've been serious afraid about climate changes. The river was too high to start working on the plantations, the fish are poor, and a single can of milk costs at least $5 dollars, when you can find it.
