This is a day in the life of the indigenous SĂĄpara tribe who live within the Ecuadorian Amazon.

Today, their population totals less than 700 people, across 22 communities, and they are constantly battling to keep their culture, traditions and territory in-tact in an ever pressing capitalist world.

The SĂĄpara, also known as ZĂĄpara or ZĂĄparo, once occupied some 12,000 miÂČ between the Napo River and the Pastaza in the Amazon rainforest along the border of Ecuador and Peru.

Early in the 20th century, there were some 200,000 Zapara. From the year 2009 on the Ecuadorian ZĂĄpara call themselves SĂĄpara. The official name is NaciĂłn SĂĄpara del Ecuador (NASE).

The SĂĄpara people have a distinct language, known as SĂĄpara, which is considered critically endangered with only a few fluent speakers remaining. They have a unique cosmology that revolves around their close relationship with the natural world, viewing themselves as an integral part of the forest ecosystem.

They possess extensive knowledge of the medicinal properties of plants and have a profound understanding of the intricate balance of the rainforest.

However, the SĂĄpara people face numerous challenges, including encroachment on their lands by extractive industries, deforestation, and the loss of their cultural heritage. Despite these pressures, the SĂĄpara people continue to fight for their rights, seeking recognition and protection of their territory, language, and way of life. Efforts are being made to preserve their culture and support their sustainable practices, ensuring the survival and well-being of the SĂĄpara people and their unique contributions to the world.

  4. Emma Westcott

    A beautiful video, it tugged at my heartstrings. Thanks for showing us these beautiful people and what they are up against.

  5. Puff Of Smoke

    Not surprised at all about the exploitation of the Amazon in Ecuador. Its happening in other countries' Amazon too with corrupt politicians leading the way.

  10. ShaggleROC

    I would be equally hesitant about drinking the saliva broth as I would flying in that plane.

  12. Keith Compertore

    Gareth, amazing video! I love seeing the daily lives of different cultures. You really dive deep into all the aspects of their lives. I love it! Love your positive vibes and down to earth nature. The people in this community, young and old, really accepted you and had fun with you. Keep the content coming! You need your own TV show!

  15. Jennifer Pennoyer

    I absolutely love stories and content like this! I love to see and learn about different communities, people, and places that we don’t see a lot of on all the travel vlogs and blogs out there Thank you for sharing!

  16. Jason

  23. lurategh

    Amazing first episode of the new series! Truly can't wait to see the rest of where you take us. And I love love LOVE that outtake of all the animals ganging up on you at the table. 😂😂 So freaking adorable! Your outtakes are always hilarious.

  30. HMZBIZ

    All its concept
 just finished and am very moved by how important it is to provide security and safety to our origins. As Brazilian can’t thank you enough for the care and hard work!

  32. Brandon Moore

    Six months in the making but well worth the wait! From the opening seconds, I knew this would be something special. It's the curiosity, care, respect, and educational aspect we've come to know you for, but dialed up to a thousand. From your breakfast in the jungle, to visiting the local school, making the chicha, to the challenges of their life in the jungle and modernization/capitalism, this was a beautiful and fascinating ride. Thank you for sharing your experience with us and for giving us a peek into their world. Also, the outtakes at the end are hilarious, as always! 😂

  33. bass D#min

    I missed your face! Glad your back.
    I loved this educational video.
    Although I did puke in my mouth a little when you were eating those grubs or whatever they ate called. Had to look away. Lol!!
    I am happy you had a wonderful experience there with those beautiful people. Thank you very much Gareth. 💜

  36. Ciao Luan

    You should publish a book called Gareth's Planet. Followed your videos before, I just finished my two weeks vacations in Thailand, it is far more wonderful.

  38. Armando B. Castenelli

    Gareth, this is a masterpiece. I loved it. Thank you for taking us to our native land and with amazing people who all they wish for, is to be left in peace. You are awesome!🙌
