Headwaters of the Orinoco - Venezuela

Wilderness expert Ray Mears travels to the heart of the Amazonian rainforest to meet the Sanema tribe. Incredibly, he finds their lifestyle has barely changed over 10,000 years as they have learnt how best to exploit natural resources. Virola tree resin is extracted to tip arrowheads for catching game and making its bark into a hallucinogenic snuff to be used in shamanistic rituals
