The Cocama live mainly in the upper Amazon region of Peru, where they number between ten and fifteen thousand, with just a few hundred more living in Brazil and Colombia. Their area of the Peruvian Amazon is sparsely inhabited and not easily reached: Iquitos is the largest place on Earth that cannot be reached by road and is a day or so away by commercial passenger boat. Even then a ride of a few more hours by small, out-board motor canoe is necessary to reach the closest Cocama community
