ABOUT LODGE:
The native community living in Megantoni in the Amazing Jungle is incredibly diverse, with groups such as the Yine Yami (also known as Piro), the Nanty, and the Nahua Yora.
The Yine Yami people are traditionally known as Piro. The Piro had significant control over interregional trade, the entrance to the Tambo River, and the famous Salt Mountain. Additionally, they controlled the area near Cusco and had contact with Andean trade. Their communities, Sentido and Miaria, border the Ucayali department. The Piros are the main suppliers of fish to the town of Sepahua and are renowned for their skills in trade and navigation in the Amazing Jungle.
The Amazing Jungle Native/Nanty:
Most Nanty are known as Kugapakori. This name was given to them by the Machiguenga and means “angry or wild people” as they aggressively defend their territories and chose to live in isolation. In contrast, they refer to themselves as “Nanti,” meaning good people. The Nanti Kugapakori opted out of the Machiguenga option to remain isolated from society. News of their existence has circulated since 1750, and in 1972, the first small groups were contacted. One of the Nanti/Kugapacori groups resides in settlements called Marankiato and Montetoni, where other Nanti/Kugapacori groups also live within the Nahua Kugapacori Reserve, part of the Manu National Park and the Megantoni Amazing Jungle Reserve.
Incredible Jungle Natives/Nahua/Yora:
The Nahua Yora are part of the panlinguistic family and Yaminahua groups, living between the Misahua River (Serjali) and Sepahua. Only in the last 12 years have the Nahua Yora settled closely together. Before 1982, they migrated between the Yurua Purus, Mishagua River, and the Manu National Park to hunt, fish, and gather forest resources. Today, they reside in the Mishau River basin, a tributary of the lower Urubamba. Over 90% of the Nahua/Yora population lives in the native community of Santa Rosa de Serjali alongside the Nahua Kugapakoru Reserve.
