We're going to meet the Yagua tribe of the Momón River. They welcome us to their maloca (longhouse) with natural face paint as a souvenir of our visit. They show us their crafts, share their dances, and explain the dialect they speak in their community. They also tell us how they came to live in this part of the rainforest. We'll even try our hand at blowgun hunting for a souvenir photo. This is an unforgettable experience connecting with native peoples in the rainforest, as we connect with these beloved children of the jungle.

 

​Just like the Yagua people, we will also visit the Bora tribe. They too await us happily and welcome us with natural face paint, different in color and style than the Yagua. They also have different types of dances, clothing, and dialect. The group leader is always the host, explaining how they came to live in this part of the Peruvian jungle. These activities are ideal for those who like to take home souvenirs from visiting native ethnic groups, and especially if you want to buy handicrafts. They are all artisans, and the prices are reasonable compared to the city.
