From 36 hours to 40 minutes: Peruvian captain's Water Bus transforms river travel

Freyder Caldas Cierto ferries villagers along Peru's Huallaga River for EGH, operator of the Chaglla Hydropower Plant. Since 2015, the free community boat service has served five villages — turning a day-and-a-half-long mule ride into a 40-minute trip. A Chinese-operated project connecting riverside lives, one trip at a time!
