That's a nice suggestion, but I would guess this place is pretty far away from any large concentration of Wikipedians. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 18.4.17.112 (talk • contribs) .

[edit] Question about opening paragraph

I am confused about the opening paragraph. It says:

"it forms a unique natural canal between the Orinoco and Amazon river systems; it is the largest river on the planet that links two major river systems, a so called bifurcation"

If it is a unique natural canal, what is gained by saying it is the "largest" river that links two systems? If there are any others then in what sense is the Casiquiare unique? Molinari 06:00, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] elevation not known

The actual elevation of the canal above sea-level is not known--
Because it is on the dark side of the earth where there is no satellite mapping. Jidanni (talk) 02:59, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
