Sheltered by the world-famous Biosphere Reserve, the Machiguenga of the Manu continue to hunt monkeys and other game animals using bows, arrows and hunting medicines. The rich wildlife thrives, protected within the boundaries of the park. Traditional native hunting practices maintain a natural balance. Here in the rain forest of Manu, the Machiguenga hunt tapir, peccary and monkey using their magical sedges, preserving the secret knowledge of their ancestors, the powerful shamans of mystical times. The spirit of the harpy eagle lives on.
