The Discovery of the Amazon is a historical account of the exploration of the Amazon River and its surrounding regions, as documented by Friar Gaspar de Carvajal and other historical documents.

The book includes translated excerpts from Carvajal's journal, which provide insight into the challenges faced by the explorers, including hostile encounters with indigenous tribes and the difficulties of navigating the treacherous river. The book also includes additional historical documents that shed light on the significance of the expedition and its impact on the European understanding of the New World.
