The Amazon rural populations, especially the river people or the caboclos who live in the large region of meadow, are often moving from one place to another. Due to the fragility of the river edges of the water streams, as well as the agricultural and agro forest areas, and because of uncertainty of lands and opportunities for work and market, in some regions, particularly in the region of meadow of the Amazon basin, families are always ready for the possibility of moving, taking houses apart, leaving their communities and restart their lives in new different places. In this brief article, we present a series of complexities in the recent history of the demographic flows and of the economical relations between the rural and urban areas which have characterized different parts of the basin where we have worked, mainly the estuarine areas of Macap and the meadow of the Peruvian Amazon
