Cultural Connection
Here, rescued animals—victims of illegal trafficking and the pet trade
“A cultural transmission in which the knowledge, behavior patterns, cosmological beliefs and culture per se are communicated and acquired. ”
The Eja Esa indigenous tribe are originally from the Madre de Dios River. Just 10 minutes upriver from us lives a family from this tribe. As a more sustainable economic alternative to living we encouraged our neighbors to welcome visitors and show them how their tribe lived in the jungle before they were forced to become part of the major society by missionaries back in 1945.
Meet Enrique and his family, direct descendants of the Ese-Eja tribe. Have a direct cultural experience with them as they teach you about their ancestral culture and customs, see what they used to wear, eat; see how Enrique makes fire with natural materials and build your own bow and arrow with him. Finally, the women of the family show their natural crafts for sale, which is also an economic means for them.
