Javari Valley, Indigenous territory in western Amazonas, Brazil
The Javari Valley spans 85,444 square kilometers of rainforest terrain, making it the second-largest indigenous reservation in Brazil, bordered by Peru.
The Brazilian government established the protected indigenous territory in 2001 to safeguard native communities from external threats and illegal resource exploitation.
The territory houses 26 different ethnic groups, including 19 isolated communities who maintain their traditional ways of life without contact with modern society.
Access to the Javari Valley requires river navigation through the Itaquai, Javari, or Itui waterways, with entry permits mandatory for non-indigenous visitors.
The region contains the highest concentration of voluntarily isolated indigenous groups in the Amazon, with an estimated 2,000 individuals living in remote villages.
