Secrets of the Jungle, Latin America’s Hidden Tribes (Secretos de la Selva, Las Tribus Ocultas de América Latina)

Learn Spanish with Stories

Believe it or not, there are communities of people out there who have never been contacted: they've only ever seen a handful of outsiders in their lifetimes, never been on the internet, driven a car (or bicycle) and are still several centuries behind us in terms of technological advancement.
It sure is hard to imagine, right? But in fact, that are several communities in South America that are so remote and separated from civilization that they have managed to maintain their ancient traditions and form of living for many centuries now, and who want to keep it that way.
It's a fascinating phenomenon, and one that has raised many questions - for example, do these communities deserve to be bothered and "forcefully" integrated into our healthcare systems? Or is it best if we leave them alone for good? And how do we protect them from criminal organizations that exploit and kidnap them?
All of these questions and more will be raised and hopefully answered in this week's episode of the Learn Spanish with Stories podcast!
