Cashibo, Indigenous settlement in Aguaytía region, Peru

The Cashibo region extends along the Aguaytía, San Alejandro, and Súngaro Rivers, where indigenous communities maintain traditional practices and customs.

In 1866, a significant confrontation occurred when five hundred Cashibo men engaged in battle with Peruvian naval forces during a military expedition.

The Cashibo people speak Kakataibo-Kashibo language and practice animistic beliefs, considering natural elements as carriers of spiritual powers.

Visitors need permits from local authorities and indigenous community leaders before entering the territory, respecting established protocols for external interactions.

The population declined sharply after 1930 due to diseases, leading to a government proposal for a reservation which the community declined.
