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

Araribá
is reference for corporations, students, groups of researchers,
schools, collectors, anthropologists and tourists from all over
of the world that are interested to learn about the tribes through
the material of the Indian culture.
Further,
Araribá Indigenous Culture hosts a diversified exhibition of personal
objects and accessories, as axes, blowguns, bows and arrows sets.
In addition it has many ornamental pieces such as necklaces, clamps,
combs, bags, hammocks and masks. Besides ritual costumes there
is an extensive collection of musical instruments, CDs and books.
Because
of the Brazilian legislation, Araribá doesn’t do business with
materials from animal’s source.
