Traditional Achuar clay bowl (hand-made & hand-painted)
Hammock house,
where 4am wayusa dream-sharing ceremonies are held by the fire.
Hammock's are commonly used by the Achuar,
as are the turtle-shaped chairs, as seen in this photo.
Also typical is the fire with three logs pointed inwards;
as the ends burn they are pushed in toward the flame.
Our final meal with our Achuar guide
Traditional Achuar foods; a bowl of manioc, plantain, hearts of palm, and soup,
all served on a palm leaf.
Compostable food packaging :)
Wrapped up vegetables and hearts of palm
Traditional face painting with our Achuar guide
Our other guide was trying to get us to look at the camera
and trying to get us to smile
Face paintings from the side
Next face painting... whiskers?
almost done...
Learning about the Achuar's hunting tools:
a blow gun and darts tipped with poison from rainforest plants.
Aiming for the target--she hit the bull's-eye!
