“We thought of life by analogy with a journey, a pilgrimage, which had a serious purpose at the end, and the thing was to get to that end, success or whatever it is, maybe heaven after you’re dead. But we missed the point the whole way along.

Over the last decade, more and more Westerners have been traveling to the Amazon jungle to drink the shamanic brew ayahuasca. The increasing market is being accommodated by a growing number of ayahuasca retreat-centers spread across parts of Peru, Ecuador, Brazil, Colombia and elsewhere (Labate & Clancy 2014). In recent years, a Western-based NGO emerged with plans to intervene upon the political economy of the ayahuasca tourism industry by introducing a type of certification system.

The secretion from the frog Phyllomedusa bicolor, known in Portuguese as kambô, has traditionally been used as a stimulant and an invigorating agent for hunting by indigenous groups such as the Katukina, Yawanawa, and the Kaxinawa in the southeast Amazon. Since the mid 90s, its use has expanded to large cities in Brazil and, since the late 2000s, abroad to Europe and the US. The urban diffusion of the use of kambô has taken place via healing clinics offering alternative therapies, by way of members of the Brazilian ayahuasca religions, and through travel, mainly by Amazonian rubber tappers, the Katukina, and the Kawinawa Indians. In this article, we present an ethnography of the expansion and reinvention of the use of kambô. We describe the individuals who apply the substance, who are a diverse group, including indigenous healers, ex-rubber tappers, holistic therapists, and doctors. We argue that the frog secretion has a double appeal among this new urban clientele: as a “remedy of science,” in which its biochemical properties are stressed; and as a “remedy of spirit,” in which its “indigenous origin” is more valued, as if kambô was a kind of shamanic power plant analogous to peyote and ayahuasca.

There are really good intentioned people coming here to do all kind of projects (development, conservation, etc…). Most of these projects generally tend to insert indigenous people in the market economy (and its consequences) in many different ways; some of those projects are really well designed and you can see the good will of the people that bring them and the respect they have for indigenous peoples.
