Visit and talk with the shaman tour

In this tour we will visit the indigenous community Huitoto to learn about its customs. However, we do not offer or recommend drinking Yage (Traditional hallucinogenic drink of indigenous communities), as it may cause serious health problems and life risks. The reason why Amazon B&B advises you to avoid this experience, in the same way, we are not responsible for personal decisions about it.

Encounter with a shaman

Shamans and his cultural values

On this visit, you can learn about some ancestral rituals of the indigenous communities of the Amazon, their values and culture listening to the stories of the shaman. A shaman is a warlock or sorcerer. In their cultures, he has a supernatural power that allows him to contact spirits, cure diseases, predict the future or influence weather conditions, among other issues. The role of shamans in communities revolves around the possession of wisdom, of a knowledge. And they pass this knowledge from generations to generations.
