Evidence: Cultural literacy around the world

When I was 8 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.
