In the southeast, separated from the Amazonian plains by the Chiquitos highlands (about 1070 m/about 3500 ft), are the dry, semitropical plains of the Chaco (see Gran Chaco). www.sacayonda.info /country/bo.html   (577 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Moxos Indians This collective designation is that of a group of tribes famous in the mission annals of South America, originally ranging through the forests and prairies of the upper Mamoré, extending east and west from the Guapure (Itenes) to the Beni, and centering in the present Province of Mojos, Department of Beni, Bolivia. As the water retreats, the hot sun generates pestilence in the low grounds around the rivers, while the prevailing oppressive heat is varied by spells of piercingly cold winds from the mountains which prevent the ripening of corn. In 1674, accompanied only by Brother Castillo and some Indian guides, he entered their country from Santa Cruz by way of a twelve days' canoe voyage down the Mamoré river. www.newadvent.org /cathen/10606b.htm   (577 words)

Guardian Unlimited Travel Countries Reality bites In Bolivia, Amazonia is focused around the tributaries of the Rio Beni and the Rio Mamor&ecute;, which snakes for 870 miles from the Cochabamba basin through the tropical Beni and onto the Brazilian border, from where it joins the Atlantic. We tear off into the horizon, the Rio Mamoré spluttering in our wake, and proceed to weave our way through overhanging branches while Thomas - soon to be renamed "El Loco" - pulls handbrake turns with a wild and deranged look in his eyes. It's then a 15-minute yomp across the jungle to where a rowing boat is waiting and, after 30 minutes of strenuous oarsmanship, we're floating in a deserted lagoon with only the water lilies for company. travel.guardian.co.uk /countries/story/0,,1266090,00.html   (3035 words)

Saucers and soldiers? The Amazon scenario examined Over a hundred U.S. troops from the 37th Airborne, stationed at Fort Bragg, have been engaged in the construction of facilities at Santa Ana, a small Amazonian village in the Beni region of Bolivia (curiously enough, along the banks of the Mamor, River, where Serrate's 1953 sighting occured). In November 1953, Pedro Serrate was walking along the banks of the Mamor, River in Bolivian Amazonia when he became aware of a discoidal object some hundred and fifty away from him. The Amazon - aside from being the Earth's mightiest river - is actually a giant culvert into which drain rivers from all over the northern "hump" of the South American landmass: thousands of miles of tributaries from Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and Brazil. www.ufoinfo.com /news/saucers.shtml   (3035 words)

The Lisbon Coast of Portugal. A description provided by the Portuguese Tourist Office. From here, you can see terra-cotta tiled rooftops, ancient monuments, statues which preside over squares, the old quarters of the Bairro Alto and Alfama where nostalgic fado is played nightly, and the Tagus river flowing under its graceful suspension bridge. A half hour's drive south of the Tagus are the Arrabida hills dipping sharply down into the Sado river estuary to form a coastline of sandy coves and gentle seas. It's hard to believe that most of the city was re-built after the great earthquake of 1755 and devastating fires: redesigned in a strict grid system, preparing Lisbon for its future. www.manorhouses.com /regions/cldesc.htm   (3035 words)

BOLIVIA - LoveToKnow Article on BOLIVIA The river has a length of about 600 m., fully three-fourths of which, from Chimor (925 ft. above sea level) to the rapids near its mouth, passes across a level plain and is navigable. An exception formerly existed at Puerto Acre, on the Acre river, to which ocean-going steamers could ascend from Path, but Brazil first closed the Purfls and Acre rivers to foreign vessels seeking this port, and then under a treaty of 1903 acquired possession of the port and adjacent territory. The Bolivian port of entry for this trade, Villa Bella, is situated above the f fills of the Madeira at the confluence of the Beni and Mamor, and is reached from the lower river by a long and costly portage. www.1911encyclopedia.org /B/BO/BOLIVIA.htm   (3035 words)

brazil-interior.tex With us were an Indian woman who sat immobile, silent, and expressionless the whole nine-hour trip down the Rio Guapor\'{e} and Rio Mamor\'{e}, maybe the same woman who was with us on the way up, and a Bolivian mestizo woman whom I believed was the wife of the owner of the fazenda. That evening I walked up the hill overlooking the river where all the state government buildings are, watched the sunset reflected in the Rio Madeira, and had a large Amazonian fish called tucunar\'{e} for dinner. But attached to the front of the boat were two smaller one-decker Amazon river boats, on the side was attached some sort of barge, and several rowboats had been tied up behind it. www.isi.edu /~hobbs/brazil-interior.tex   (3035 words)

index238a Tradition has it that many years ago some children residing at Inchlaggan were playing on the loops of the Garry at this spot when a huge "beiste" in the shape of a deformed pony appeared on the bank of the river. Loch Shiel is not nearly as big as Ness or Morar but its appearance is narrow and long like Ness, almost looking more like a mountain trapped river. Curious to learn whether the creature was not a real pony on which they could enjoy a ride, the children went up on it and, the story has it, found the "beiste" so docile that one of them ventured on its back. www.bahnhof.se /~wizard/cryptoworld/index238a.html   (3035 words)
