Aerial Photograph taken in 1966 by Chuck Clark of the Ashaninka (Campa)
village of Quempiri, Peru near the Apurimac-Ene River and Cutibereni
(Cutivireni) Mission. The earthen landing strip is clearly visible to the
right and the Quempiri River is on the left. Clark was one of the first
outsiders that the Ashaninkas of Quempiri had ever seen. He lived with the
Ashaninka tribe in Quempiri, documenting their indigenous Amazonian culture with
the photographs seen in this photographic gallery. Currently, there are
plans to develop Quempiri as a ecotourism attraction due to the presence of
traditional Ashaninkas, high biological diversity, and the proximity of the
village to scenic attractions such as Stewart Falls ("Salto Parijaro"), the
Ashaninka Communal Reserve, the Otishi National Park, caverns, and a natural
bridge.
