Photo by @villalonsantamaria // Arhuaco indigenous in the Aguarico river, Ecuador.
The coca leaf plays a central role in daily life of the Arhuacos and is used in offerings and ceremonies. Each man carries a bag of the leaves, which are chewed to create a mildly stimulating effect. When two men meet, a handful of leaves is exchanged as a sign of mutual respect. A hollowed-out gourd called a ‘poporo’ contains crushed seashells. A stick is used to transfer the powder to the wad of coca in the mouth – the highly alkaline shells react with the coca to stimulate its active ingredients. Please check out my photo book about the sacred plant of The Incas and Cocaine through the failed war on drugs on my instagram profile, a journey through the Americas where in one of the stops we´ll meet shaman Calixto Kuiru who´ll explain to us why Coca plants are so sacred to him. Welcome!
