For six years, Sebastião Salgado, one of the greatest photographers of our time, traveled through the Amazon, capturing the unparalleled beauty of its forests, rivers, mountains, and indigenous peoples. The book Amazônia brings together the stunning photographs taken during this period, showcasing the power of nature and its infinite beauty.
Among the breathtaking landscapes, the photographs of indigenous communities stand out, depicting their traditions, fishing and hunting practices, food preparation, body paintings, dances, and rituals. In total, Salgado visited 12 tribes: the Yanomami, Asháninka, Yawanawá, Suruwahá, Zo’é, Kuikuro, Waurá, Kamayurá, Korubo, Marubo, Awá, and Macuxi.
This book is a true treasure that combines Sebastião Salgado’s excellence with the splendor of the Amazon, making it a must-have for those who appreciate the rainforest.
