Arutuam.

My friend and her puppies Juan, husband of Linda retrieving the hearts of palm trees (palmitos) for my farewell meal


1st wife of Ernesto the head of the family








Arutuam.
What a place.


A family of 20, Kilometre 48... Pastaza Region Ecuador.


I stayed in their home for a week, these are just a few of the people I met.


They were kind and open and helpful and easy going.


Even though my Spanish was terrible.






Shuar culture. Arutuam Spirit.




The Amazon... a pharmacy, a family member, a jungle, a forest




Rapidly disappearing.
