ship haul site marked on google earth


For anyone who is interested, I just marked the site where the ship was hauled in "google earth". It should be searchable in the forum "google earth community" (peoples and places), or can be found when going down the urubamba river in southern peru, in southward direction (the other river was riu camisea) - provided that google earth community place marks are activated. The site was identified by looking at the map that Herzog points at in "Burden of Dreams", the very watchable documentary about the making of "Fitzcarraldo".

Ok. So, I'm having trouble locating it on Google Earth. And searching the community hasn't brought up your post yet. (I've searched keywords Fitzcarraldo, Herzog, Ship, Haul, and both rivers you mentioned.) Any advice?

For example, I know the site is near the town of Iquitos, Peru. Where is the site in relation to there?
