To the east end of the Amazon department of Loreto, we find one of the most inaccessible places for most tourists;The Matses Territorial Reserve, founded in 2009.

This indigenous Matses ethnic group is from the Pano linguistic family, known as “the bearded” or “jaguar men.” They are a small culture, an estimated 1800 people, who live between the Yaravi River and the Matses of Brazil.

They have a worldview anchored in living beings of the nature of the Amazon. Culture suffered, exploited by the rubber workers of the beginning of the twentieth century, then at the end of the twentieth century for the interests of oil and mining companies.
