On the Rio Nangaritza. Entering Shuar territory.

The Rio Nangaritza flows past the beautiful and lush Cordillera del Condor, a region of intense biodiversity and home to indigenous Shuar communities. We canoed down the Nangaritza Valley, to the border with Peru, on our way to visit a Achuar Shuar shaman, Don Juan, and spend the night as his guests in his village, called Shaimi.
