This book chronicles the author's journey through some 3,700 miles of South America's 'flowing road', the rivers and their tributaries forming a vast network of waterways in a region encompassing Brazil, Venezuela, and Argentina. Tackling rapids, waterfalls, and whirlpools by boat, foot, and canoe, the author's expedition reveals the astounding diversity of flora and fauna, as well as the lives of the people who call this region home.
