Saturday April 23rd, 2016 Time: 10 AM to 12 NOON
Shuar Ritual and Natural Medicine Introductory Workshop
Alternatur Cuenca has developed a natural medicine workshop with members of a Shuar community that live near the town of Sucua in the Amazon. The topics to be covered at the workshop focus on alternate medicine and holistic treatments derived from plants only found in the Amazon. The event also showcases traditional rituals performed by representatives of the Shuar community and that involve the participation of all our guests. The workshop itself is designed to be fully immersive, with a short 20-minute Q&A session that takes place at the end. It is our philosophy that by developing these highly interactive workshops that focus primarily on cultural awareness and education, a more dynamic learning experience can be achieved. This unique approach not only enhances a person’s travel experience overall, but it also contributes immensely to their enjoyment and appreciation of Ecuador and everything amazing this beautiful country has to offer.
Price of admission to attend the workshop: $5 USD
