I want to know more about the indgenous tribe in the area. What do they do? Just hang out and chuck spears at people passing by?
What kind of fish are in the river, besides the one mentioned? Are they exotic?

I have not been to this town, but I lived in Brazil for many years and visited the Pantanal last year. Currently tourism for both recreational fishing and Pantanal exploration are strong economic factors. In the past the area was relatively self-sufficient and isolated from the rest of Brazil and the state of MG do Sul, but they would extract a local tea herb which was sold to Uruguay and Argentina.
