Who they are
The Cubeo are an indigenous people who inhabit the forests and riverbanks of the Vaupés River basin, primarily in Colombia and along the border with Brazil. Known for their rich oral tradition and clan-based organization, they maintain a deep connection with the rivers and the Amazon rainforest, where cassava cultivation and fishing sustain the communities.
