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 420635.34 ha (4206.35 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. *ES: Los Matsés, conocidos también como Mayoruna, se ubican en la cuenca del río Yavarí, cerca a la frontera entre el Perú y Brasil, en la Amazonía.
