Ancestral ways in a living forest
In southern Venezuela, the dense Amazon
rainforest shelters one of the world’s most
isolated and resilient cultures: the Yanomami.

and cycles. Their language, rituals, and
cosmology o昀昀er profound insight into a way
of life largely untouched by modernity.

support, translators – carefully managed to
ensure comfort, safety and cultural integrity.
