Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed account of an 1867 expedition led by the author to explore the Madeira River in Brazil. The Madeira River, a major tributary of the Amazon, is home to a series of rapids, known as cachuelas, that obstructed navigation. The expedition was commissioned by the Brazilian government to investigate the feasibility of improving the river's navigability. The author provides a vivid description of the expedition's journey, including the challenges posed by the cachuelas and the diverse flora and fauna encountered along the way. The book also includes scientific observations on the river's hydrology, geology, and climate. Of particular significance is the author's analysis of the impact of the cachuelas on the region's economic development and his proposals for improving navigation. The book offers valuable insights into the history of exploration in the Amazon basin and the challenges of developing the region's transportation infrastructure.
