Descrizione

Five days as guests of the Fulni-ô indigenous community in Pernambuco with Francesco, your Italian guide: body painting, mountain trek and waterfall, sacred-object workshop, evenings in a circle.
Three hundred kilometres from Recife, in the dry inland of Pernambuco, live the Fulni-ô: thirteen indigenous peoples share the state, and they are the ones who kept their language, Yaathe, alive along with their rituals and festivals. The village sits right next to the small town of Águas Belas, and the houses are brick, but the rituals happen in the forest. For five days you live there, in a tent, as the community's guest.

We leave Recife on day 1 at noon in a chartered car and reach the village in the afternoon: the community welcomes the group, we pitch the tents, eat dinner and sit in a first circle of introductions. The days that follow run on the community's rhythm: body painting in the morning with urucum, jenipapo and charcoal, and the story of what each mark means; a trek to the mountains where the ancestors lived, a walk through the forest and a bath in the waterfall; a workshop to make your own sacred object; the children's songs and a meditation circle. Evenings are for partilhas, sharing what the day was. The spiritual moments are optional and led by the community.

Francesco, an Italian guide who has lived in Brazil for nine years, leaves Recife with you and stays with the group until you are back: he translates, explains and is the bridge between Europe and a Brazil almost no visitor gets to see. The tour runs in English, Italian and Portuguese; Italian is led by a native speaker. Ten people at most, adults only. What you see is not a show for tourists: it is a living culture, and we enter it quietly.
