Maroa
8.1
Lower score (below 6)
Maroa is a village of a few hundred people on the Casiquiare canal, the natural waterway Humboldt documented in 1800 connecting the Orinoco to the Rio Negro — historically interesting, currently irrelevant. Supply drops come by small plane, electricity is sporadic, and there's no running water infrastructure. The permanent population is almost entirely indigenous Curripaco. If you're not there for a specific scientific or expedition purpose, there is no reason to be there and no way to function socially.
