"The banks of the Quiquibey are high and made of red clay. Atop them is a mass of fractaled green forest. Seemingly no beginning. No end. No points of reference. White birds followed us upriver as we crashed through rapids. We saw capybaras on the banks and turtles sunning themselves on logs. A human or two fishing from the "banks or a canoe every hour or so." --ar 4:3
