Should we stay on the main river or paddle a remote channel?
While doing research for the expedition Dave found a long narrow channel that breaks away from the main channel of the Amazon River and does not re-enter the river for over 150 miles. We do not know much about this remote channel, but from looking at satellite images it looks to be very wild. We think that by taking this channel we would increase our chances of encountering wildlife, but we would not pass as many towns. Basically we need you to help us decide if we should take the remote channel in search of wildlife, or stick to the main river channel where we will encounter more towns. Remember to write a comment to explain your answer!
