The article offers historical and ethnographical examples of how Amazonian indigenous people perceive the spatial dimensions of the forest; taking into account the routes they have taken. Since colonization, collaboration between indigenous informants and layman explorers was crucial for the latter to penetrate terrestrial and fluvial routes within the forest (Kok, 2009; Roller, 2012). Based in Ingold (2000; 2010), I compare that, while exchanges were an integral part of the lives of indigenous people, for the explorers, these paths did not have the same connotation, being used only for its significance as infrastructure being transportation routes or as ways to explore and conquer the indigenous territory.
