Peru trip to Machu Picchu
Since time immemorial, we strive to develop the unknown. This urge to explore has brought us a long way, but for indigenous peoples it is increasingly becoming a problem. Although it is difficult to imagine for the tourist: Worldwide, there are about 4,000 indigenous peoples, each with its own language, their own cultural rituals and stories. Some of them still live in complete isolation, and it is their most urgent desire to keep it that way. A wish that hardly can be met, especially in tourist areas and checked irish ferries pembroke rosslare..
For example, are just 100 kilometers from Machu Picchu in Peru, flock to the 2,500 daily visitors, the refuges still uncontacted peoples. Especially curious tourists have sometimes tried to contact with the Indians, and even designed clothes to attract the natives for an image from the reserve. The fact that this approach is not only unethical, but also can be fatal, says Linda Poppe of the organization Survival, which campaigns for the protection of indigenous peoples. I also looked at P&O Ferry Liverpool Dublin.
"Travellers should never go into areas where uncontacted or live very secluded living peoples. It is irresponsible to Indigenous compared to, for infection with an entrained flu can often potentially lethal. Such a pathogen can be found on the designed clothes. too, for travelers, it is not safe, because uncontacted peoples want no contact and defend themselves in an emergency with violence against it. "
In general, tourism and indigenous peoples can be perfectly compatible with each other, when travelers consider some things, as Linda Poppe is sure: "As long as the rights of indigenous peoples and they even respected, not treated as exotic or pitiable exhibition objects, one is on the right. way Some Indigenous operate their own tourism projects and offer insight into her life -. certainly the best option to learn more about them That may not sound adventurous enough some tourists, but yes also rising at home not in the houses of their neighbours to to see how they live. We also looked at stenaline Ferry Liverpool Belfast.
One thing is clear: if you want to get to know the natives of a country and their lives, have to invest some time in advance in the search for suitable paths. It is not enough to look up just to the side of the tour operator or the respective government, but also for example with organizations like Survival or Tourism Watch. Here you will find out quickly whether recommended by the tour operator hotel was perhaps built against the will of the local indigenous people to their ancestral territory or whether the inhabitants were forced only for tourism to show themselves, as happened recently in Burma.
Providers that operate with the consent of the people, allow a natural and respectful access to indigenous communities. An encounter in which both sides have fun. How it works, for example, "Picnic with the Penan" on Borneo. Travellers are here invited to spend up to a week in which the Penan in the region of Sarawak. But the arrival reveals how closed off the Penan live. Visitors travel to around one days by plane, jeep and boat to reach the small villages in the rainforest-covered mountains of Borneo.
