At home with the Cofan Indians

Article Abstract:

A visit to the Cofan Indians in the Ecuadorean rainforest can be an extremely interesting experience. It is possible to live as the Indians do, seeing the rainforest in all its glory. It is important to avoid trips which treat the Indians simply as exhibits. Tourism may help them to survive, but only if they are actively involved.
