	Pongo de Manseriche - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Pongo de Manseriche is a gorge in northwest Peru.
		The Pongo de Manseriche is 3 miles (4.8 km) long, located at 4 degrees 27' 30" southern latitude and 77 degrees 34' 51" western longitude, just below the mouth of the Rio Santiago, and between it and the old missionary station of Borja.
		Later, the missionaries of Cuenca and Quito established many missions in the Pais de los Maynas, and made extensive use of the Pongo de Manseriche as an avenue of communication with their several convents on the Andean plateau.

		The Pongo de Manseriche [note 1], at the base of the Andes and the head of useful navigation, seems to be the natural terminus of the Maranon; and an examination of the hydrographic conditions of the great valley makes the convenience and accuracy of this apparent.
		The Pongo de Manseriche was first named Maranon, then Santiago, and later Manseric, afterwards Mansariche and Manseriche, owing to the great numbers of parrakeets found on the rocks there.

	morona - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com
		The Morona is a tributary to the Amazon River, and flows parallel to the Pastaza and immediately to the west of it, and is the last stream of any importance on the northern side of the Amazon before reaching the Pongo de Manseriche.
		It is formed from a multitude of water-courses which descend the slopes of the Ecuadorian Andes south of the gigantic volcano of Sangay; but it soon reaches the plain, which commences where it receives its Cusulima branch.
		Swollen by their many affluents, they reach the lowlands and unite their waters to form the Santiago, which flows into the Maranon at the head of the Pongo de Manseriche.

	Amazon River - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		The first descent by a European of the Amazon from the Andes to the sea was made by Francisco de Orellana in 1541.
		However, the word may also be derived from the Spanish word "maraña" — meaning a tangle, a snarl, which well represents the bewildering difficulties which the earlier explorers met in navigating not only the entrance to the Amazon, but the whole island-bordered, river-cut and indented coast of what is now the Brazilian state of Maranhão.
		The name Amazon arises from a battle which Francisco de Orellana had with a tribe of Tapuyas where the women of the tribe fought alongside the men, as was the custom among the entire tribe.

	Marañón River (Peru) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It flows through a deeply-eroded Andean valley in a north-west direction, along the eastern base of the Cordillera of the Andes, as far as 5 degrees 36' southern latitude; then it makes a great bend to the north-east, and cuts through the inland Andes, until at the Pongo de Manseriche it flows through the plains.
		Finally, after passing the Pongo de Huaracayo (or Guaracayo), the cerros, or hills, gradually disappear, and for a distance of about 20 miles the river is full of islands, and there is nothing visible from its low banks but an immense forest-covered plain.
		The final pongo on the Marañón, the Pongo de Manseriche, is 3 miles (4.8 km) long, just below the mouth of the Rio Santiago, and between it and the old abandoned missionary station of Borja.
