Comunidad Siona Puerto Bolívar
A Siona village on the Cuyabeno River where visitors can learn to make cassava bread and explore shamanic and traditional medicine culture.
The Siona are the Indigenous people of Cuyabeno. Puerto Bolívar is the community most often visited on the river, and the village has a cultural interpretation center. Typical activities include going with villagers from the cassava fields to baking 'casabe' cassava flatbread on clay griddles, learning about medicinal plants, and sometimes speaking with a shaman. The community charges a visitor fee that goes toward community development. Please ask permission before taking photographs.
