60 kilometers south-east of Puyo in the upper Amazon Basin of Ecuador
you will find the amazing Shuar
Botanical Gardens, owned and operated by tribe
leader and Shaman Felipe, his wife Rosa and their
children Paul, Olivo, Janeth, Paola, Alex and
Jeovany Wampash. The massive gardens
contain a variety of medicinal plants the
Shuar use to remedy many ailments as well
as to create the powerful hallucinogen
"Ayahuasca,"
used often in rituals. The music of the Shuar is very basic, often as
you will see in these videos only a singer
performs the beautiful and haunting music
that is Shuar.
Please Note- All video samples are streaming media player WMV format. Mac users can watch the videos with a free player you can download here.
