Ethnic experience
With amazing wilderness and a cultural experience, Xingu offers more than an outstanding fishing trip. It is a journey to remote and ancient native civilization - The Kayapos - who still live in harmony with their forest and the Xingu River.
Ancient Culture
The Kayapó are one of the most important ethnic groups in the Amazon region, despite numbering a mere 8,000 people. Their cosmology, ritual life, and social organization are extremely rich and complex. They are an ethnicity of proud, fierce warriors, with a particular set of skills worth experiencing. We invite you to come discover a heritage shaped through the centuries.
The Amazon Warriors
After their encounter with colonizers, they began to actively fight for the guarantee of their rights and traditional territories. Today, they are the legal owners of the indigenous territory recognized by the Brazilian Government and they feel responsible for the conservation of biodiversity and reduction of climate change.
