The community is also known for their traditional artwork, and if you wish, you will have the opportunity to purchase handcrafted paintings directly from the family as a meaningful souvenir.
After visiting the native family, we will continue with a boat excursion to a nearby riverbank, where we will enjoy a rustic fishing experience. The waters in this area are home to several species of fish, including catfish, maiden fish, sardines, and piranhas.
