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 region, from them as a place of transit, of social relations, and with nature.
