It was a Saturday in March. After three hours, we were still traveling down the Huallaga River in a small wooden boat. The roar of the motor could be heard all the way along the route, as we watched the blue sky with its white cotton clouds, the deep green of the trees and the earth-colored river, a truly picturesque sight. The wooden boat was entirely fill: not even another chicken could have fit in. I wondered what I would finally feel when we reached the Gervacio community in the Peruvian Amazon.

I spent my time on the boat revising my printed questionaires for the cacao producers. I was pursuing my doctoral studies in Japan at the time, and my research focused on the commercialization of cacao by those growers associated with a cooperative, in particular, the case of Acopagro, in contrast to those who used intermediaries to sell their product. All along the river, I was concentrated on reviewing the printed surveys. And checking to see if I had everything with me: My camera, a pen and my taperecorder. Everything was in its place.

Turning my head, I realized that I was sitting alongside people who were returning to their homes, their community. They were loaded up with supplies from the city: fuel, supplies, processed foods, live animals and goods that others had ordered.  The boat owner also carried letters, documents and packages, taking advantage of the boat as a kind of mail system. “Have we arrived?” I asked the boatsman. We had indeed. The passengers gave me a hand to get off the boat. I jumped off on one foot so I wouldn’t get my socks wet and I felt my shoe sinking in the mud. I took another long step and smelled the odor of fermenting cacao. I was finally in the Gervacio community. I climbed up a small hill and encountered a woodland filled with plantains, yuca, corn, oranges, beans and, of course, cacao.
