Evidence: Cultural literacy around the world

When I was 20 I had the opportunity to travel to the Amazon, I was in extreme
contact with nature and know one of the most representative cultures of the
country. Like gigantic veins, through this region they cross majestic rivers that
facilitate commercial transactions and trips to magical places in the middle
of the forest, remote populations, reserves, parks and natural reserves all this
you can find it in the Amazon, Colombia.

Indigenous groups grant this territory an incomparable ethnic multiplicity.


Knowing their rituals, culture and beliefs, interacting with community leaders
and understanding their relationship with nature is a sensational experience.

This wonderful habitat hosts as many species of fauna and flora as any other
ecosystem in the world and is a surprising place not only for the cultural
diversity of its indigenous peoples, but for the life that originates and is
nourished from the many banks of the Amazon River, The largest, deepest
and deepest in the world.

Traditionally, most of the tribes of the Amazon have a hunter-gatherer culture.


They move to a new area every few years, but many tribes have lately
preferred to have a more stationary existence. People live in communal
buildings and share resources with their community.

Each tribe has its own language and culture (dance, crafts, songs,
medicine). They can also have their own crops and usually have initiatives to
care for the planet, which is a very good thing. In addition their religious
beliefs are based on rituals, shamans and gods.

The handicrafts made by the natives can be bought in the guards or fairs of
the region and are distinguished by their fascinating designs created with
seeds, bark, feathers, hemp, Pirarucú scales and other elements collected in
the depths of the Amazonas Jungle.
The Amazon is a city that would definitely go again.
