Village in the forest at dawn

Our story

Born from real encounters.

Vozes da Floresta was born from encounters with the Huni Kuin, Noke Koi, Nukini and Yawanawa peoples, in the state of Acre, Brazil.

From the simple wish to make a direct transmission possible between those who hold the knowledge and those who want to learn — with no middlemen.
