Arhuaco Mamos
from the Sierra Nevada-Colombia

The sacred priesthood of the Mamos is recognized by scholars as one of the most extraordinary and sophisticated spiritual systems that are still practiced in the world today. Much more than a belief system or a religion, this spiritual science is transmitted through an extremely strict, long and difficult method of apprenticeship.

Shipibo
