Amazon Explorer - Expedition to the Matses tribe - Peru

*EN: The Matsés, also known as the Mayoruna people, are located in the river Yavari basin, close to the border of Peru and Brazil, in the Amazon rainforest (South America). Because their territory is a remote location, the Matsés people preserve their ancestral culture. On August 27, 2009, the Peruvian government has established the Matsés National Reserve, with an area of 420,635.34 ha (4,206.35 km2), in order to contribute to conserve the natural resources, allowing the indigenous people use these resources in a sustainable way.

Amazon Explorer is a licensed company based in Iquitos and registered in the Peruvian Tourism Authorities.

@itchamacation. You are right on the European diseases killed the indigenous population in the Americas most than guns. In the case of the Matses, they are a long ago contacted tribe (around 1965), so they have antibodies and there are not risk for them. Anyway, before a trip, we must be sure that any traveler has not the flu or another disease. Thank you itchamacation and all for your comments. Greetings from Iquitos, Peruvian river Amazon.

Those tribe members were exposed to diseases which they have no antibodies to fight the diseases. The Europeans killed more American Indians with diseases than guns.
