The secoyas, their shamanism and the Yagé

The secoyas, their shamanism and the Yagé
After nearly 3 months in the culturally and naturally enormous Ecuador. Were nearly half of my time here has been used traveling in and out of the rainforest region with Ecotrackers. I can really recommend to all of you who might read this to do the same. Not just to experience the old culture and the beautiful nature close up, but also to remove illusions and to get a more realistic picture of the problems one faces in the work of maintaining this in dispensable landscape and its cultures.
Through the last two weeks I have, with the help of ecotrackers, visited a community of secoya Indians on Rio Aguarico near the Columbian border in the region of Cuyabeno.
My goal with the visit was to study the secoya shamanism, their art of healing and the philosophy behind all of this as good as it can be done in just two weeks.
