Descripción de First Contact with Tribes in The Amazon Rainforest:

This is video from my first contact with the Indigenous people of the Amazon Rainforest. The first people in this video are the Bora Tribe. They are a massive tribe in the Amazon Rainforest. Their numbers are thought to be around 3,000 strong. However this is a far cry from the estimated 30,000 that ruled this land until the 1960's. The Bora were used as slaves during the rubber boom and almost completely decimated. They have come back and now cover the jungles of Peru and Columbia. I spent a good deal of time with these people and the Chief is quite fond of me. I have an open invitation to stay with this tribe. The second set of people. The ones wearing clothes are the Nuevo Progresso Tribe. This is the tribe I chose to live with. They have no electricity, no running water, and they survive largely by farming and hunting. These are beautiful people and I had many great experiences with them as I was learning how to survive in the rainforest. Living in the rainforest was one of the hardest things I had ever taken on. My first two weeks in the jungle were extremely uncomfortable, but as I assimilated the culture and the energy of the rainforest things began to get very clear. I found myself at complete peace.
