Napo

Napo is a Jivaro guide who accompanies the Hunts in their canoe from Puyo, as they begin their journey down the Pastaza River. At a waterfall that marks the end of familiar territory and the beginning of "hostile country" for the Jivaro, Napo decides return to his village. He waves goodbye from atop the waterfall. As Hal maps the river, he names the falls "Napo Falls" in Napo's honour.

Napo speaks only a little English, which he has picked up from American cinchona traders.
