The essay has as its theme the water roads on the MAP border in Peru, Brazil,
and Bolivia, inserted in the great Pan-Amazon, while crucial elements to deconstruct
representations of an Amazon seen as ‘green hell’, ‘isolated’. To this end, we used to move
across the borders of Geography, History, Literature, Cultural Studies, and Discourse
Analysis to make the role of rivers visible in the process of deconstructing discourses
cemented in literary canons, cartoons, and in the social and cultural imagery that one has
of the region, from them as a place of transit, of social relations, and with nature.
