Documentary "Mountain of Mystery" | http://bit.ly/MountainMystery

These men of the forest have the custom of decorating their bodies and faces before undertaking any action. Above all, they use red, from the seed of the onoto, and black, which they obtain from burnt wood from the fire. Each Sanema has a specific design which protects him. They generally represent totemic animals seen under the effects of the sacona or yopo, a powerful hallucinogenic substance they inhale through the nose. The effects of the sacona are almost immediate. Now, the symbiosis with the magical dimension of the jungle is almost absolute. From their psychedelic vantage point they can see the spirits of the jungle with out being vulnerable to their influence and been united with their moresbi, a part of the soul of the Sanema which lives in a particular animal of the forest, making it his protector.
They frequently go on these journeys to the world of the spirits. Almost every day, the Sanema feel the need to transform into their totemic animals and visualize, through its eyes, the other reality of their existence.

The Sanema move around an enormous area. They can be found near any river in the southern part of the Guayana Massif. Mainly in the Caura basin. This powerful river, a tributary of the Orinoco, has many rapids and cataracts, which makes it difficult to navigate and so for outsiders to penetrate into one of the least explored areas of Venezuela.

In the documentary "The Mountain of Mystery" we travel to the oldest place on Earth. Here lies the largest, most intact virgin forest in the world, on the Guayana Massif, in the south of Venezuela, along the Brazilian border. http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_xnDE04X2MfOsZPXVOmhRh61kxxO90qD
