Stories From the Amazon - Traveling on the River

Travel on the Curaray river is quite enjoyable. We were traveling in a large dugout canoe made from a single trunk of a very large tree. The native guides had built this boat and Mickey had supplied the motor. When we went into some of the lagoons we would use a much smaller dugout. Travel on the river is pleasant - though we would get the occasional rainstorm. This, however, was what it was like - realizing that we would come across birds, monkeys, river dolphins, and other wildlife that kept it always interesting. Reading on the tribes and history of the Curaray River is recommended as it has a fascinating history. For information about the area - Uncontacted.com is a very interesting resource.
