وصلت عند القبائل الأكثر عزلة بالعالم في غابات الأمازون | Waorani Tribe

I always thought that the jungle tribes had given up their customs. I thought it was over, but. .

. I was wrong. It's different for the Waorani tribes in the Amazon.

In a strange part of the Amazon in Ecuador, some tribes live without influence from the outside world until now. We're with the tribe. Their favorite food is monkeys.

These are the Waorani tribes, their language is called Wao. We have arrived in the capital Quito, and now we are heading to the Amazon. It will take 6 hours by car and then we will take a plane.

We're going deep into the Amazon. These tribes are unique, I will tell you why later. We left the capital Quito for the city of Shell, which is named after the global oil company Shell because they used to extract oil from here.

Okay, guys, it is 6 a. m. now and we will take off from this small airport.

It's a military airport. If we do not take this plane, the trip to the Amazon will take us two days by car to reach our destination deep in the Amazon. It cost us $1,400 for the round trip.

This area of ​​Ecuador is rich in natural resources and full of oil. We're heading to the heart of the Amazon along the border with Peru. Look, they are waiting for us.

There was a wonderful reception when we arrived. The plane left and left us behind. The plane will come back to pick us up in three days.

They use this fruit to paint their face. The first thing we did was head to our hut where we will sleep. We left our luggage and then left.

It's raining. Despite the heavy rain, they had to go get the poison from the climbing plants, and then they would prepare it in their village. This is the rainforest, this is the Amazon.

We are back in the Amazon. Now they will extract the poison from the trees to use in hunting. Look where we are sheltering.

They have made an umbrella out of the leaves. This is the tree that contains the poison. He will climb the tree.

There are climbing plants on top of this tree. The name of the poison is Curare. And now they're going to take it to cook to make poison.

That's a huge amount of poison. The Amazon jungle is fascinating, there are tribes spread out in Ecuador, Peru, and Brazil. The black thing is the poison.

Look at the amount of poison they extracted, that's enough to wipe out the entire village and the neighboring villages. Now the stage of filtering the poison. It's like filtering coffee.

He adds water from the top, but with his mouth and the poison settles at the bottom. They added water to this and then the poison started to ooze from the bottom. The poison is almost ready, they will just boil it.

However, they need an energy drink for tomorrow's hunt, and their special drink is called chicha, so we went to get it. This is from this palm tree. They will make their special drink from cassava.

Cassava grows underground like potatoes and we'll harvest it now. It's very popular in South America. Cassava!

Look, it looks like lungs. Cassava! Look how big it is!

Cassava. That's it. We are ready to cook.

Let's go. This is sugar cane. The children in this village love monkeys, however, the adults eat them.

-Waorani. -Waorani! Then they started preparing their special cassava drink.

The women prepare this drink while the men prepare the poison. They draw on their guests using a material extracted from trees. These drawings depict the river, the jaguar, and the anaconda.

Anaconda! They are making chicha now. Let's see.

Then they boil the poison. . .

. . .

then dip the arrows in the poison for hunting. They will dip all these arrows in the liquid poison. They will use these weapons for hunting tomorrow.

Look how he stacks them up one by one. They've prepared a large number of arrows. They will prepare their special drink in a way that you will not see anywhere else in the world.

By spitting! It's mainly a spit drink. After drinking their magic drink, we will see the result tomorrow.

I think they are ready to hunt now. We have been sailing in the river for more than an hour and a half trying to find a place with a lot of monkeys to head to. Will they actually catch one?

The search has begun. When they make this sound, the monkeys respond to it, that's how they attract the monkeys here, using this sound. You should be able to see through it.

This is the Amazon jungle, the largest jungle in the world. The monkey responds to the call. Did you hear the sound?

Listen. You can hear it. Can you hear it?

It's calling. We just follow the sound, without seeing it. I've never seen a monkey lead itself into a trap willingly.

That's why sometimes silence is good. This water is deep, we couldn't cross it. We've been searching for 4 hours to catch this monkey.

It got shot by an arrow, the poison will spread all over its body now. It'll either fall or they'll climb up and get it from the top. He's going to climb up.

I've put a GoPro on his head. He's handing him the gun. When he climbed up the tree and got close to the monkey, the monkey jumped to another tree, which was its last one.

Where is it? It's time to cook the monkey. Obviously, I won't eat it, they say it tastes like chicken, so David will eat it.

He's eating its head. These are tribes fighting to protect their jungle. Thank you, Rika and David.

Thank you, Ecuador.
