And Miranda worries about access to water.

“In all the communities ... we are suffering because of the water, because it’s not raining, the drought is really severe,” said Miranda, 48, who came from Putumayo eight years ago in search of better economic opportunities.“We bathe in the river water, but for cooking and drinking we have to wait for rainwater and when there’s none, we have to buy water from Leticia. Imagine that!” said Miranda, of the Tikuna people.
