We thought this might have been Iquitos, which is where "Fitzcarraldo" was set, but not sure.
"For a short period in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this most isolated of cities was one of the wealthiest in the world, so rich it became one of the first anywhere to install an electric grid. It fell into sharp decline when an Englishman "stole" the seeds of its monopoly. Today it is booming once more as a major port, centre for tourism and because of its privileged position as a duty-free zone" Name the City
The four pictures are:
1. Klaus Kinski in what we think is "Fitzcarraldo"
2. a town on a river, the houses are all on stilts by the look of them
3. a large glass house with people walking by
4. a man in the water, feeding a fish to a dolphin
Can you help, please?
