You push off from the CEASA harbor as the river opens, the speed boat slicing the mirrored brown water toward the meeting of the waters. By the time you step onto the muddy banks at Paraná do Mamori, the air smells of wet leaf mold and smoke from distant kitchens; sound carries differently here — birds, insects and the steady slap of paddles filling the gaps.
