In these beautiful malocas, traditional dwellings, of the Huni Kuin indigenous people, one family makes their life within these wooden walls. Typically, their blood relatives occupy nearby dwellings. The community is thus bound by both kinship and tradition.

Throwback to when we were helping our Huni Kuin hosts in the preparation of ayahuasca. The scraping of the vine bark is a communal activity in which everyone participates regardless of background. What many outsiders don't realise is that while the medicine work is profound, the ceremony itself resembles a vibrant party by nightfall, full of songs, stories, and a collective journey.

These traditional dwellings are called malocas. That's where the Huni Kuin people live in the rainforest.

Evening sustenance in a traditional maloca: fresh bananas and boiled manioc placed on top of a handwoven palm mat, alongside the ever-present kettle for herbal tea. The Huni Kuin diet is varied and changes depending on the season, the hunt, the harvest...
