Floodplain - Upper Zone of Belen

Many homes are built on top of balsa wood rafts that float on the waters during the flood season beginning in November. It is a traditional regional style. With the passage of time and the increase in population, the style has changed and more houses are built on a fixed construction on top of wooden pillars, some of them of two stories.
During the dry season, people use both floors, but during the flood season, only the second floor is used.
