Menkragnoti Indigenous Territory | Brazil

The Iriri River begins its journey into the jungle at the border between the states of Mato Grosso and Pará, and runs along the northeast of the Brazilian Amazon for more than 1,300 km. It is the main tributary of the mythical river basin Xingu, which makes up the largest basin with crystal clear water and emerald color from the Amazon.

Why staying here: Kendjam is a small village hidden right in the middle of the most preserved Kayapó territory, an area of more than 5 million hectares of intact Amazon Forest. Only 700 indigenous people live in this huge area, creating one of the most isolated portions of the largest Tropical Forest on planet Earth. The Kayapó are one of the most important indigenous ethnic groups of the Amazon, but there are only about 8,000 people living in the present time. Their cosmology, ritual life and social organization are extremely rich and complex.
