Ancestral Journey with Kamentsa People

We invite you to embark on this community-led initiative by the Inga and Kamëntšá Indigenous Peoples of Alto Putumayo, who seek to share the beauty of their territory and ancestral heritage through activities and practices that promote healing and well-being.

Discover the Magic of Alto Putumayo

Nestled in the Andean-Amazonian transition zone, Alto Putumayo is a land of lush cloud forests, sacred waterfalls, and vibrant indigenous cultures. The region is home to the Inga and Kamëntšá peoples, whose traditions are deeply rooted in their connection to the land, their medicinal knowledge, and their spiritual practices. The Valle de Sibundoy, often referred to as the "Sacred Valley of Putumayo," is a place of profound energy, where ancient wisdom and nature coexist in perfect harmony.

This journey offers a unique opportunity to experience the ancestral traditions of these indigenous communities, participate in healing ceremonies, and explore a landscape shaped by centuries of cultural and spiritual heritage.
