Caboclos
The caboclos are the biggest population group in the Amazon. They find their origin in the natives and the rich foreign entrepeneurs, who aim at the treasures of the Amazon. Because of these entrepeneurs the cities Manaus and Belém have grown into big cities. The Cablocos never knew anything else but the wood and the river. They live at the water in wooden cottages, usual together with their relatives. The villages are small and there isn't many contact with the world outside.
To stay alive they provide themselves with corn, fruit and fish. Product that they don't use, are being sold at the market wich they visit often. Nowadays the sold products at market aren't the only earnings anymore. They also earn from tourists which visit their villages on their holidays.
