enters the large river of the Magdalena. It is very
narrow where it passes through the cities of Po-
payan and Antioquia, and forms the letter S, tak-
ing its course through rocks, which render its na-
vigation very dangerous. The Indians, however,
are so dexterous in guarding their canoes from
running against the rocks by paddles, that it is
very seldom indeed that any accident occurs to
them. They call this strait Las Mamas de Cara-
manta, from a city which was here of this name.

in a bad road through the mountains ; and it is
