| Would especially like to check out the system on Google earth or other satellite imagery, but have no idea where it is. |

| It may be the Rio Tupana which is in the Madeira system. |

| Like a few other "publicized" or "made-up" names of rivers or lagoons in the Amazon, this one is probably called such by an outfitter. Some outfitters/agents regularly employ made-up names for an area or location that they would like to keep publicity to a minimum. They want to deter additional boat/fishing traffic on these waters. Sometimes, the outfitter just wants an easier name (than a Indian name) to remember and/or pronounce. An example, in FL, we call Lake Tohopekaliga simply "West Lake Toho" (there is an East Lake Tohopekaliga) and Lake Okeechobee simply "Big O". My top spot for giants on the Rio Negro watershed: "Lago de Larry" |

Art: Believe the Rio Tucano is near the Rio Arara which are south of the Unini and eventually hooks into this river.  |
