Overview

A Day with the Kichwa Family of Clemente

Spend a day with Clemente's Kichwa family and discover the connection between the chakra — their traditional garden — and the family's ancestral knowledge. Walk through the chakra, discover and harvest seasonal produce, and taste a selection of fruits you won't find anywhere else.

Learn traditional preparation techniques alongside the family, then follow the medicinal plants trail to learn about their traditional uses. Discover ancestral hunting traps and take part in a traditional plant vaporization ritual using plants gathered that same day from the chakra.

Finish the experience by sharing a traditional lunch prepared with seasonal ingredients from the chakra, together with the family — a true farm-to-table meal in the heart of the Amazon.
