WHAT DOES BALSA MEAN IN PORTUGUESE?

Ferry

Ferry, ferry boat, ferry boat, ferry or ferry boat is a flat-bottomed craft with small draft, to be able to operate near the shores and in shallow waters, and large mouth, often used for transporting vehicles. In the northeastern region of Brazil, fishermen build their rafts of wooden logs tied side by side, which are called "jangadas". In the Andes region, on Lake Titicaca, a border between Bolivia and Peru, the Aymara and Uros Indians designate by ferry a vessel made of logs which, by their nature of construction, have a duration limited to about three or four months. Cacilheiros: In the Tagus river, in Lisbon, callers are called cacilheiros to the ferries that cross the river. Although the ferryboat designation is an Anglicism, it is widely used in all other situations. The "ferribote" aportugues exist but is rarely used. Barca: In the northwest of Rio Grande do Sul, this type of vessel is commonly called "barca".
