Traditional Cofan culture

Our Cofán friends have a strong culture, maintain a rare language, and have traditional artisanship. Spend a day or a week with them to learn about traditional Amazon lifestyles and communities.

We strongly recommend asking for a story from an elder in traditional language. When the community is ready and for larger groups they sometimes offer traditional song and dance to visitors but this is a special event and we don’t ask for it unless it’s something they want to share.

Traditional food preparation, jewelry making, and hunter-gatherer activities are usually ongoing and depending on the community you can tag along and participate. Participating in their daily lives allows you to understand how there is an intimate harmony between culture and nature: from gathering medicinal plants to crafting handicrafts that reflect their cultural identity. This experience transcends tourism; it is a journey of learning and deep respect for sustainable and resilient ways of life. In addition to cultural immersion, your participation directly contributes to the preservation of the ancestral Cofán territory, an Amazonian ecosystem under constant threat from activities such as illegal mining and logging.
