Descubrimiento Del Río De Las Amazonas

Descubrimiento del río de las Amazonas

by Gaspar de Carvajal

Este libro recoge el relato del viaje de Francisco de Orellana, que exploró en 1542 el curso del río Amazonas hasta su desembocadura, recorriendo con medios muy precarios y sin mapas 4.800 kilómetros en siete meses. El cronista dominico Gaspar de Carvajal, quien fue testigo y participante de semejante hazaña, ha legado a la posteridad una relación de dicho viaje, en base a la que el río fue nombrado de la manera que conocemos hoy día.
