  I believe you have never been to the Amazon. It is not like taking a water cab in Amsterdam or a ferry in nyc. The sheer complexity of canals[1], [2] tides, [3] seasonality influences a great deal on who will have the guts, time and money to visit the region.

    For people that live there is like taking a cab in a canal.

      They have river shuttles, it is no where close to taking a cab. I've been there.

      Not really. What's the worst that can happen to someone taking a cab in a canal?
