VISIT A<br />
COMMUNITY<br />
AND COMMUNE WITH A<br />
LOCAL SHAMAN<br />
For over 11 thousand years, groups of people have<br />
chosen to settle in the <strong>Amazon</strong> and adapt to its<br />
ways, living from what Mother Nature provides, and<br />
establishing a profound relationship with her. These<br />
days, despite incredible technological advances and<br />
development, many of the native communities maintain<br />
the legacy left behind by their ancestors, and continue<br />
to live as one with the surrounding nature.<br />
Visit the community of Puerto Prado, declared a private<br />
conservation area, where community members take<br />
advantage of the natural resources and offer visitors the<br />
chance to experience the jungle first-hand. Then, join<br />
the community shaman who will share his knowledge of<br />
local medicinal plants and lead you in an ancient ritual.<br />
