RIO MACAUÃ: VIAGEM AOS CONFINS DO RIO DAS MIL E UMA CURVA

Abstract

In this article we describe a field trip to the Macauã and São Francisco National Forests in the municipality of Sena Madureira, state of Acre, taken at the end of March, 2002. Here there is a description of the route, at times expressing the emotion, and other times analysing the meaning of the situations we lived under a geographical look into this reality. Thus, we describe natural physical aspects of the region and situations that indicate the human socio-spatial reproduction of the place in a scientific reflection on the points studied. Finally, in its entirety, the text demonstrates the possibilities of learning from a “study trip” in Geography.
