The Río Shebonya is a left tributary of the Río Pachitea in the extreme northeast of the Peruvian Huánuco region in South America .
Its water reaches the Río Ucayali via the mouth of the Río Pachitea and thus to the Amazon . The Río Shebonya became known through Juliane Koepcke , who in 1971 as a passenger of LANSA flight 508 reached the Río Shebonya on foot after the crash, where she met people and was rescued.
River course
The Río Shebonya flows first in a northeastern, then in an easterly direction through the low-lying part of the Peruvian Selva, the Omagua . It bridges a straight line distance of 40 km from the source to the mouth. As the crow flies, it crosses the N5 national road 10 km before the estuary, otherwise it leads through untouched rainforest. It lies at an average height of 190 m and has an average width of 25.5 m and depth of 2 m.
