Kuhikugu
The village of Kuhikugu demonstrated deft urban planning. Large circular plazas, urban gardens, wide roads radiating out from the city center, sidewalks, raised causeways, and barge canals from rivers to city interiors speaks of a sophistication in city planning and execution.
The population density of this region of Amazonia was 16-32 people per square mile. Extrapolation that out suggests a population of between 42 to 88 million people for the entire Amazon at the time of Orellana's first expedition.
