Here is the fascinating stream called the Casiquiare, reputed to flow both ways and to connect the Rio Negro, largest northern tributary of the Amazon, with the Orinoco. Here nations have not yet ceased to dispute each other's boundaries, for no one is quite sure of what is here. To bring order out of this geographical chaos is the chief purpose...
