A saga de construir um barco na Amazônia: 7 horas de canoa no Rio Negro

Building a boat in the Amazon isn't just naval carpentry—it's a constant battle against distance, time, and the force of nature. In this episode, I embarked at night on a traditional recreational boat to save time and arrive at the shipyard in Novo Airão at dawn. What I found there was disappointing: the construction had barely begun, well below what had been agreed upon. With a heavy heart, the return trip was the real challenge: 7 hours in a 5-meter aluminum canoe along the majestic and unpredictable Rio Negro, passing the islands of Anavilhanas, with the Amazonian waves always lurking. This is the real logistics for those who decide to build something from scratch in the heart of the Amazon. There are no shortcuts. There are no easy ways. There is history. 🔔 Subscribe to follow the complete series—the next episode is even more intense. #BarcoAtelier #AmazonBateau #Shipbuilding #RioNegro #Amazon #Manaus #LifeOnTheRiver #NavalCarpentry #NovoAirão #Anavilhanas
