Kamak Maki

Kamak Maki is a community project that was born with the idea to develop an interactive center of the Kichwa culture with respect to its history, myths, beliefs, ancestral knowledge, and relation to the environment. We believe that Kamak Maki is a space that promotes co-existence and co-living in the Amazon jungle through community based tourism, without altering social ties nor inherent value of the community and its practices. We hope to demonstrate that the conservation of culture is not static and that with planning and adequate control, ancestral knowledge can be remembered in the long term. Currently, the center is working through the investigation and recuperation of natural and cultural resources to educate its visitors about the importance of cultural preservation
