Osol Tribe

Follow the river into living traditions

Brazil Rio Branco paid

The journey to Boa Vista Village begins well before the forest comes into view. Osol Tribe brings guests to meet Huni Kuin masters in a community setting shaped by ancestral teachings, songs, celebration and shared life. The retreat’s stated purpose is to create a considered encounter, with preparation and integration around the experience and a tangible connection to the community. Here, the forest is not simply a backdrop: reaching the village involves a small-plane flight from Rio Branco to Jordão, followed by about four hours by boat along the Jordão River. Meals are traditional, light and nourishing, with options that can accommodate several dietary needs. This is a paid retreat for travelers drawn to learning in relationship with a living community, rather than a standard resort-style stay. Expect a remote, immersive setting and a journey that asks for time; confirm the retreat dates, daily structure and practical arrangements with the team before booking.
