Headwater Rivers Seen On This Adventure

Below are the rivers that I came across during my trip. If it is bold and underlined, I spent a significant time on this river (bold only means I spent only a few hours on the river). Indented river names are those rivers we passed that flow into the main river it is listed under.   I am not sure about the distances for the Apurimac but I know I did all of the Ucayali, Tambo, and Ene Rivers.  With the twists and turns of the Rivers, the distance was much further than I originally thought, but not unexpected.  The river elevation from where I put in to where I ended in Iquitos, the elevation drop was 2,060m or 6,759 ft. As I put together my GPS information, I will update this page to try and make it as accurate as possible and add the GPS picture information.
