PHOTO ALBUM: Indígenas Huitoto, Last Colombian Amazon Photo Stop

---

For our last Amazonian adventure, our Ticuna guide Ramiro led our family entourage to a Huitoto village a half an hour or so north and west into the jungle, designated by a roadside sign as Indígenas Huitoto.

We toured the village’s agricultural plots, where Britannica says the Huitoto practice “agroforestry,” a form of sustainable agriculture through which they integrate crops into the forest and mimic the ecosystem’s natural processes.

Our final destination was the community maloca, which featured a traditional hollow signal drum and a discussion and chant with the village shaman.

The Huitoto, with an estimated population of 8,500, are among 34 Amazon tribes that the Colombian Constitutional Court designates as at risk of extinction
