IMG_0578.JPG Shops

Local shops sell goods that come from local ranches and villagers, as well as goods that come by road to our remote villages. Many shops have a generator and serve as a meeting place in the evenings, where you can relax to Caribbean music, dance to Brazilian music, or watch a movie.
