The town of Rama marks the point where the road to the east ends. From Rama any towns further east such as Bluefield must be reached by boat. The town itself is situated at the point where two rivers meet and most of the daily life of its inhabitants is centered around the river. The area around Rama is peaceful and beautiful tropical forest and the best way to see it is by boat. Boats of all kinds pass through Rama, from 500-foot cargo ships to small dugout canoes.
