Imagen
  The first European to navigate the Amazon River was Francisco de Orellana , a Spaniard from Extremadura . He was an enlightened man who, in addition to Castilian, spoke French and Latin. He named this impressive river in 1542, as his soldiers reported being attacked by many native communities, but above all, they remembered with amazement some fierce, semi-naked warrior women who shot poisoned arrows at them, similar to those in Greek mythology and identical to the legendary Amazons .     In addition to Captain Francisco de Orellana, Francisco Pizarro's brother, Gonzalo Pizarro , also participated in this expedition.
