Quito - This is the Huaorani, an isolated tribe in the Amazon jungle. They live without clothes, depending on the nature and the most feared in the Amazon!
Amazon, tropical forests covering an area of 7 million square kilometers and stretches across nine South American countries still had a lot of question marks. As a matter of life there, especially the tribes living in the interior forest and difficult to find.
One of them, is the Huaorani. Of the various sources of information collected detikTravel, Wednesday (20/01/2016) Huaorani occupy an area in the interior of the Amazon jungle in the east of Ecuador. Rather, along the Napo river flow and river Curaray they call the name of the region, Quehueri'ono. Very difficult to reach areas.
It is estimated, the Huaorani have occupied the Amazon forest a thousand years ago. They too, have never been out of the forest and reject the arrival of strangers. They isolate themselves, do not even wear clothes at all.
Huaorani life is very dependent on nature. They drank from the river, hunting and picking fruits. They know, where the fruits are dangerous or where the river filled with crocodiles and prohibited from approaching it.
Huaorani still maintain ancestral beliefs. One of them, a ban on deer hunting because it considered her as the human eye. One more thing, they should not kill the snake because it is a symbol of bad omen.
Considered dangerous tribe
When in the middle ages, a gob of Europe landed in South America and the Spanish invaded Ecuador, Huaorani brave fight. They refused to be moved to urban areas and keep the forest is maintained.
From the historical record, the Huaorani unbeaten record. Frankly, they really understand the ins and outs of the Amazon forest. Plus, its main weapon is a toxic chopsticks 2 meters.
Children chopsticks, given the poison curare. These toxins commonly derived from plant species and Strychnos toxifera Chondodendron tomentosum, which had already become a common weapon agi Amazon tribes in the other.
Typically, they use the poison for hunting animals. When the prey is hit, then the muscles going limp like a lame animal. But if the 'target' they are human, it is another story.
Dosisinya will be added and can lead to death. If exposed, then the affected children will be paralyzed and limp chopsticks. It did not take long, the heartbeat will stop!
Illegal loggers in the Amazon jungle also felt the horror of the Huaorani. They were attacked when being cut down trees there. No doubt, the Huaorani so angry because their homes are destroyed.
Nickname dangerous parts, then pinned to the Huaorani. Actually, they are not dangerous and will not attack if forests are not destroyed is not it?
It is now friends with Tourists
Until 1956, the Huaorani tribe finally made contact with the outside world. One reason is because the Amazon jungle is expected that more and more looted. Illegal logging and burning of forests, threatening their lives.
The news circulating, the divisions within the Huaorani. Anybody want contact with the outside world and some were not. Those who do not want, go into more remote areas in the jungle.
The Government of Ecuador and the organization or community in Ecuador finally open the eyes to maintain the survival of the Huaorani. One is Tropic Eco, who founded the tour operator called Huaorani Eco Lodge and sell tour packages to stay with the Huaorani.
They set up eco-friendly lodging in the area the Huaorani were made of wood and use solar power panels. They also train some of the Huaorani people to get used to the tourists.
The tour offered was varied, ranging from hunting with a man joined the Huaorani, wading through a river kayak, cook with women and perform traditional dances. But because access is so difficult, then the price set is not cheap.
