Amazon River Mermaid Encounters

Amazon River mermaid encounters are not just stories about one fish-tailed woman singing from the bank. They form a wider Amazonian archive in which rivers are inhabited by Iara, enchanted dolphins, underwater cities, fish-people, and seductive or dangerous beings who can lure, heal, transform, impregnate, or drown. This entry traces the major encounter patterns and why they matter.
