KAYAPÓ ETHNOTOURISM

If you want to get to know our original Brazil in an authentic way in the heart of the Amazon, this is a unique experience. The Kubenkrãnkenh village of the Kayapó ethnic group (self-named "Mebêngôkre") in the south of the state of Pará opens a few groups a year to receive us in an experience of immersion in their indigenous culture.

In addition, the village is surrounded by waterfalls with pure and warm water, river beaches, high forest and you can exchange experiences and experience a real connection with nature with those

who best know how to live in harmony with it.

Tourism in the village was built through the concept of Community-Based Tourism, where the role and all choices are made by the village in a participatory way, so that the socio-environmental impact is as positive as possible.

Ethnotourism, when exercised respectfully for the benefit of the traditional population, is a way to encourage the economy of the standing forest, valuing culture and generating autonomy so that forest peoples can defend their territories and have a prosperous life in their villages.

The tourism development project in this village was written by the NGO Floresta Protegida, executed by Garupa and AMZ Projects, financed by the Amazon Fund.

The village chose to receive a maximum of 12 groups of up to 12 people to live this unique experience per year.

Best season: June to September

Next open departure: September 7th to 13th

understand the values

The operational costs for this experience to happen are high due to the logistics of arriving in the village and taking everything necessary. Our objective is to revert the maximum amount of money to the traditional populations in a tabulated way and counting on the community tax, which is the amount divided by all the families that live in the village.
