Indigenous rights NGO Survival International has released rare pictures of the Mashco Piro tribes’ people, one of the world’s 100-odd uncontacted tribes.
The Mashco Piro, possibly numbering more than 750, are believed to be the largest of such tribes.
These nomadic hunter-gatherers live in the Amazon jungles of the Madre de Dios Region, close to Peru’s border with Brazil and Bolivia.
The tribe is very reclusive, only occasionally contacting the native but contacted Yine people.
Much of what is known about the Mashco Piro comes from Yine accounts.
