Paper long abstract:

Our experience of more than a decade in the footprints of the jaguar, guided by the millenary knowledge of different indigenous traditions of the Colombian territory, allowed us to understand that the jaguar, beyond being a wild animal, is a greater energy and at the same time very old that protects great knowledge In both botany and medicine way, its wisdom has been used in a balanced and respectful way by the ancient peoples of America to give meaning to their traditions that even today are kept alive in a sacred and just balance with the natural world.

Jaguar is a tradition that is carried inside, it is a legacy that today the great shamans share with us, the Jaguar is the voice of a territory that speaks of love, affection, respect, humility, temperance and courage, balance with one and the other, it is a knowledge that today seeks to be heard.

For us to share this film with the world has been an experience of greatness and gratitude, it is to have the great opportunity to revive, maintain and transmit an ancient knowledge that is of great importance for the times that human beings face today
