Like other wandering savages, they are
distinguished by their dirt, revengeful spirit, and fondness for
wandering. The greater part of them live by fishing and the chase,
in the plains often flooded by the Apure, the Meta, and the
Guaviare. The nature of those regions, their vast extent, and
entire want of any limit or distinguishing mark, seems to invite
their inhabitants to a wandering life. On entering, again, the
mountains which adjoin the cataracts of the Orinoco, you find
among the Piroas, the Macos, and the Macquiritares, milder
manners, a love of agriculture, and remarkable cleanliness in the
interior of their cabins. On the ridges of mountains, amidst
impenetrable forests, man is forced to fix himself, to clear and
cultivate a corner of the earth. That culture demands little care,
and is richly rewarded: while the life of a hunter is painful and
difficult. The Guamos of the Mission of Santa Barbara are kind and
hospitable; whenever we entered their cottages, they offered us
dried fish and water.
