description This article is the result of a field research funded by CNPQ (National Council for Scientific Research and Development) to investigate the border dynamics between Brazil, Bolivia and Peru. Throughout the research, the importance and significance of the drainage network of the Madre de Dios River was identified, which, along its course, performs a strong work of erosion and deposition of its banks, causing problems in the urban areas it crosses. We verified the existence of the technique of "defensas ribeiriñas" in the Peruvian city of Puerto Maldonado as an alternative to reducing the erosion process, composed of metal barriers to reduce the speed and impact of the river on the affected areas. Presented in a playful way, combining the scientific and the fictional, the article imagines an unusual boat trip with several names from Brazilian geography and abroad, who experienced different times, dialoguing with each other, using their own bibliographic production and about them, about theory, method and research in Geography, with the objective of demonstrating the strong and diverse reflexive capacity of this science in research carried out anywhere in the world.
