KAYAPÓ ETHNOTOURISM
If you want to get to know our native Brazil in an authentic way, this experience is for you. The Kubenkrãnkenh village is the mother village of the Kayapó people and, together with its neighboring village, Kedjerekrã, they open a few groups each year to welcome us for an immersive experience in their exuberant indigenous culture and natural beauty. And it is with great joy and honor that AMZ is a partner in this journey.
The village is located in the transition between the cerrado and the Amazon rainforest, a unique ecosystem, full of waterfalls with pure, warm water, river beaches and forest. You will be able to exchange experiences and experience a real connection with nature with those who know best how to live in harmony with it.
Tourism in the village was built through the concept of Community-Based Tourism (CBT), where the protagonist and all choices are made by the village in a participatory manner, so that the socio-environmental impact is positive.
When exercised respectfully, aiming to benefit the traditional population, tourism is a way to encourage the economy of the standing forest, valuing culture and generating autonomy so that forest peoples can defend their territories and have a prosperous life in their villages. Traveling is also a way to help create a more egalitarian world; feel part of this process.
The tourism development project in this village was initiated by the leaders of the Kubenkrãnkenh and Kedjerekrã villages, was written by the NGO Floresta Protegida, executed by AMZ Projects and Garupa, and financed by the Amazon Fund.

understand the values
The operational costs for this experience to happen are high due to the logistics of arriving in the village and taking everything necessary. Our objective is to revert the maximum amount of money to the traditional populations in a tabulated way and counting on the community tax, which is the amount divided by all the families that live in the village.
