Huallaga river, Chazuta
The jungle of Chazuta Peru
Story of my connection with Chazuta and Amazonia
My family lives in the North East of Peru, in the jungle of Chazuta working with cacao by the immense Huallaga river in a indigenous village traditionally known for its ceramics. Chazuta is protected by the mountains of the eastern Andes and the protected forest “Cordillera Escalera” those beautiful mountains looks in blue tones in the evenings.
The native language of the village is “Quechua”. Chazuta is a village of agricultural activity and navigators of the Huallaga river, a large complex river that connects small towns in the Amazon, where the only way to get there is by the river. In the past the village was only accessible by plane, but since 1950 a road has been built, only missionaries could reach the village by plane. Before that, people use to walk during two days from Chazuta to arrive to Tarapoto. The access to Chazuta village these days is by a very difficult road, that during heavy rains breaks down.
How to arrive: From Lima drive 2 days by car, direction nord east to the jungle, the main city you will arrive is Tarapoto in the region of San Martin. In Tarapoto drive one hour and half more to the small village Chazuta, drive carefully inside the jungle on a serpentine road somethimes broken, better not to go during the -rainy season- that goes from December to March.
In the year 2014 I meet the grandmother of the village “Maria”-who already past away- I used to sit with her, a woman of 80 years old with a big sweet smile who melted my heart, she invited me kindly to sit with her, to be with the Earth in my hands in the maloca an open place with a roof made by hand with palms that grows in the jungle. The time with her and the clay was infinite, it seams that I came to the earth for this I felt! my heart full of joy pulsing with the jungle.
I felt home immediately with the jungle weather, earth smell, humid & hot. The jungle singing with millions of small insects and birds, in a harmonic song that never ends, the earth is holding you, the earth is breathing.
The time with the women of the village was eternal, the sounds of ancient birds singing far away penetrate inside me as an ancient call, an ancient memory that wakes you up, I felt I could stay there for ever eating mango, ananas and Cacao.

To live there, in Chazuta is to be deep connected with the jungle, the spirit of the jungle is strong singing every day.
In the village all paths are earth roads and the old houses are made of earth, all over the year is extremely hot and humid, people do not use glass windows, waiting for a little wind to come in, the houses are open. It is easy to see people hanging in their hammocks spending the hot afternoon, inebriated by the heat. All the children run through the streets, they play together, they want to play with you, they are very curious.
The village is one big home, there are no limits, the children go into everyone's house to play the doors are open.
Arriving in Chazuta I fell in love with the friendly people, the simplicity, the open doors, the Cacao and jungle fruits, the huallaga river and the artisans and potters, I made a serie of drawings and paintings for my art exhibition “Yaku Ukuta Kachpana”
The rediscovery of Cacao cultivation has revived an important economic resource for people in Chazuta and has also rescued native Cacao varieties that were thought to be lost. In Chazuta time passed and the local population had forgotten about Cacao, through the work of my family with native cacao, we have strengthened our ties in the community and enabled small farmers to bet on Cacao.
Our Cacao is only from Chazuta, we do not mix it with other Cacao this is very important to preserve the quality.
The story is long and continuous... from 2014 to 2024 there is a lot to tell this ten years.
Thank you for reading and thanks for all these time with us!
