Tumaco lies just 50 kilometres away from the first city on the coast of Ecuador. They\u2019re separated however by enormous mountains which mean the journey takes eight hours by car. Elsewhere, Puerto Carre\u00f1o looks over Venezuela which is just metres away but to get there, you have to cross the Rio Orinoco which serves as the border between the two countries.<\/p>\n
Both port cities are very far apart but they\u2019re linked by trade in an economy that isn\u2019t always totally legitimate as it operates in a climate of tension, cunning and scheming.
