Haitians of the Amazon

Baptiste Suppler, a would-be Haitian immigrant to Brazil, from Gonaives, Haiti, sits in his hotel room in the tiny Peruvian town of Inapari, on the border with Brazil - amazingly enough on an street called Brazil Ave. Hundreds, if not thousands, of Haitians are showing up in Brazil - after an odyssey through Equador, Peru and Bolivia - with hopes of gaining residency as refugees in South America's largest nation.
