Hondius and the geographers who have followed him, with the exception of De L'Isle , and of Sanson , place the province of Amapaja erroneously to the east of the Orinoco. Where are the rivers Dauney and Ubarro? The Orinoco above the confluence of the Apure was at that period as little known to Europeans, as in our time the course of the Niger below Sego.
Berrio mentions the often-inundated province of Amapaja, between the confluence of the Meta and the Cuchivero, where he found many little idols of molten gold, similar to those which were fabricated at Cauchieto, east of Coro. He believed this gold to be a product of the granitic soil that covers the mountainous country between the Carichana, Uruana, and Cuchivero.
