Alter do Chão beach- Brazil


The shop: walls made by clay and bottles

Araribá's seed

 

In the Amazon at Alter do Chão the Araribá Indigenous Culture represents the most complete collection of authentic indigenous art of the Amazon.

A 11 years old shop, Araribá has pieces from more than 80 brazilian tribes and is considered the most complete shop of indigenous art of the Amazon, according to the international travel guide Lonely Planet.

Since 1999, Araribá has been working to encourage the Indian art-craft production, believing that this is the main source of development and sustainability of many Brazilian tribes.

Designers, architects and decorators make visits to Araribá due to the eccentricity and richness of the pieces in the collection
