Me and the chief Geronco of Yanomami tribe. Deep in the Brazilian amazon jungle, where I lived for 3 weeks with the Yanomami. I had the opportunity to attend and participate (dances, songs, hunting, shamanism) at the traditional Yanomami funeral ritual, where at the end of the ritual, Yanomami Indians mix remains and crushed into ashes bones of the deceased with porridge made of bananas and then drink this porridge. (I have not tried the porridge, because I didn’t know the person) Tried "Parica" (yopo) with men, women usually not allowed to do Parica. This was one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life. And I am forever part of this tribe and they are forever part of me. Жизнь с индейцами Яномами. прожила 3 недели с индейцами Яномами... Имела возможность присутствовать и участвовать (танцы, песни, охота, шаманизм) на ритуале похорон Яномами, где под конец ритуала индейцы смешивают прах и раздробленные в пепел кости умершего в каше из бананов и воды и потом выпивают эту кашу. (кашу я не пробовала)) Пробовала «Парика» с мужчинами.. женщинам обычно не разрешается... Я была в «красной зоне» где в племени из примерно 100 человек у 99% Малярия.. у меня нет ее. Это приключение я не забуду никогда. Одни из самых сложных и красочных дней за всю жизнь. На фото - я с вождем этого племени.

“Into Unknown” Solo journey into the most dangerous jungle in the world - The Darien Gap. Panama. 2018 There are still wild souls in the Darien Gap, who run around jungle naked and free. There are still places that don’t see a foreigner for many years. Places without churches, where tourism is unknown and no one will be putting on a circus show for you, like they do in La Palma, Mogue, La Chunga and other similar places. There are still pieces of life in the Darien, where you will be looked at as a threat... there are still places in the Darien gap, where you will have many misunderstandings and arguments with some locals, for trying to take advantage of you on every turn... There are still places in the Darien jungle, where they will laugh at you for trying to feed their dogs that are dying from starvation and diseases, beside the very feet of their owners, even though owners themselves are well fed and a lot are overweight. There are, my friends, places in the Darien that will make you laugh and cry, passionately and sometimes at the same time. These places are for the brave and for the mad ones. Life in the not touristy Darien will make you angry at times, lonely and helpless, but these moments will also make you feel the most alive you ever felt — it is because its all savage to the core and unapologetically honest with you — the good, the bad and the truly ugly. Darien will smack you in your face with its truth and see how fast you break. The real Darien, is very different from the one usually seen by foreigners. I am grateful for every moment, for all the truth it showed me, without fear and sugary lies. Grateful for every blessing, for every lesson and for all the love it showed me. Darien made me feel very strong and weak at the same time... but most importantly — it made me feel alive. And isn’t that the reason we, the mad ones, fearlessly beat our dusty and worn-out cowboy boots into the uncharted breath of this life — to feel alive? Madly alive! In the moment where your soul feels every twist of your nerves and checkmates your ego, with one... little... push... © Elena Levon
