photo by @chamiltonjames / Charlie Hamilton James - At six o’clock in morning, a few days ago in the Amazon, I went down to the river to join the Awã for their morning bath. It happened to be ‘bring your tortoise for a wash day!’ About fifty people turned up for the morning bathe in the river but it was the older members of the community who brought their pet tortoises for a wash. They spent a lot of time making sure the tortoises were clean and made sure they swam in the water. They also spent a lot of time inspecting and discussing each other’s tortoises. The Awã, like many indigenous people in the Amazon, keep pets they find in the wild. I have only ever seen tortoises kept to eat and was surprised that these tortoises would not end up being eaten - they are pets for life. The Awã also keep monkeys as pets - the monkey in this shot was not a fan of the water and managed to keep dry. A couple of days before when we had our morning bath it was all - ‘bring your monkey for a wash’ and nobody even had a tortoise. I enjoyed the morning bath very much. For the Awã it's a time to bond the community and make plans for the day. Shot on assignment for @ナショナルジオグラフィック
