Jeez, even monkeys... Like some Brazil... I was thinking of my 15 ft
foldable kayak (can't fly with a fiberglass one), but have got impression
that these waterways are short trips (1-2 days each) with 1 or 2 hour drive
between them. So, having car is a must.  No bugs, you say? What happened to
them ? :-) ...
