Pisaboa

Pisaboa is a small, remote community located in the Loreto Region of northeastern Peru, along the Ucayali River. Its population is primarily composed of Indigenous peoples, particularly from the Panoan language family, though specific tribal affiliations can vary. Pisaboa serves as a trading post and administrative center for surrounding smaller villages and Indigenous communities along the river.

The economy of Pisaboa is largely based on subsistence agriculture, fishing, and forestry. Some residents are also involved in small-scale commerce, trading goods like agricultural products, crafts, and forest products for manufactured goods and other necessities that are transported via the river.

Accessibility to Pisaboa is almost exclusively by river transport. Due to its remote location, access to healthcare, education, and other services is limited. The community faces challenges related to deforestation, resource extraction, and the impact of external cultures.
