Sorry about the number of photos! Pampus Tour: From La Paz I flew to Rurrenabaque. In a small propeller plane, 19 passengers, 40 min flight. It was much easier doing this then the 14 hour bus ride down gravel roads. The plane went from high Andies mountains to low land jungle. We landed on a grass runway.

I am currently producing a documentary on fish and am looking for still photographs of piranha bite wounds on people and animal as well footage of piranha attacks. Do you have anything I can possibly include in my documentary?? if you do, I'd love to hear from you so I can license them. Thank you, and hope to hear from you soon.

Your piranha bite photos for a TV documentary
Hi Tim, I hate to be a pest, but I'm extremely interested in acquiring the still photos of a piranha bite wound on a woman's toe. I'm not sure if I mentioned that I work for a television production company in the U.S, and we're currently working on a documentary series about fish for the National Geographic Channel. We're developing a story about catfish and piranhas, we'll emphasize on their biology and feeding behavior. I would love to include your piranha photos in our documentary, and I'd like to find out if you'd be interested in making them available to us?? Please let me know, I'd love to hear from you...we can work something out ;) Thank you and I hope to hear from you soon. -Carmen
