‍

Samsara 6th On Tour Edition 2021 is a transformative “on the road” festival travelling 8 days from Lima in Peru deep into the Amazon Rainforest in Brazil and then spend 10 days with shaman Yawa Bané and his Huni Kuin tribe in the remote village of Kaxinawá Indigenous Land at Tarauaca river.

‍

Our festival buses leave in the morning of 1 April 2021 and during the first 7 days we will see the world from the steep hills of the Andes Mountains along Paracas - Pisco - Nazca - Abancay - Ollantaytambo - Sacred Valley - Machu Picchu - Cusco - Puerto Maldenado - Assis. Entire journey with accommodation and food is included and organised by the festival.



We arrive in Rio Branco in Brazil on the evening of 7 April.

Following day from Rio Branco we will have to fly the festival’s own small charter planes into the remote village Jordao - this round trip also included - since flight is the only way to get there.



From Jordao to the Huni Kuin tribe village deep in the forest we will be transported in motorised canoes by the tribe. After festival ends 18 April, visitors will be flown back to Rio Branco international airport at the festival’s cost. From here all visitors need to find their way home: domestic flight to Rio de Janeiro/Sao Paolo or international flight back to Lima are two of the options.



Instead of tickets visitors first need to register and apply for a year long membership.

Samsara 6th On Tour Edition is a community-based project with the participation of local leaders and communities. Instead of tickets you will need to apply for membership and pay a contribution that is made as a donation to the village through the festival that organises your experience in the forest and also contribute to local projects and improvements in Acre.



We will organise your trip and coordinate it with local businesses and services to make sure the wild forest will accept you and treat you well.



The Amazon fires have done more than damage the lungs of the earth: they have and continue to threatening indigenous communities that live in the forest, too.



However, Samsara 6th On Tour Edition will not travel to the northwestern

Brazilian state Acre only to show solidarity with the local people

but also to visit shaman Yawa Bané and his Huni Kuin tribe for a very special reason: the Amazon Rainforest is the largest reserve of medicinal plants in the world.



Until today, traditional medicine remains the primary healthcare system in the Huni Kuin communities. The Huni Kuin people safeguard a broad knowledge of the local flora through a highly structured system of plant classification. Many plant species are used as medicines for multiple ailments, a knowledge that has been handed down from generation to generation for hundreds of years and is now beginning to be acknowledged by the rest of the world.



The festival is an opportunity to delve deeper into the jungle and better understand the connection between the Huni Kuin and the plant medicines. At this time, we will be under the guidance of experienced medicine men and women during the spiritual works with Nixi Pae (ayahuasca) and other activities involving traditional forest medicines.



Firstly, a moment of deep concentration and visionary meditation where the medicine men perform traditional chants in order to draw strength, bring visions and lower the pressure. The second part of the ceremonies is marked by joy and movement with dances around the fire and songs played with guitars and drums. During ceremony, participants can experience a wide variety of effects that inspire physical, mental, emotional and spiritual revelations and healings.



The Huni Kuin have a broad variety of delicious and healthy dishes.

We invite visitors to try the forest diet with local and organic foods

as part of of deep detox and healing.
