It is difficult to find curious historical events that occurred in other latitudes of the world outside of Europe or the United States, so I decided to look for interesting photos from the part of the world to which I belong: Latin America.
These are just a few that I was able to collect. I share them with all the Pandas so that they have a window to our continent.

#25 Chamán

With the help of hallucinogenic drugs, a Makuna shaman in the Amazon dances around a sick person to diagnose his ills. The photo was taken for an academic paper published in 1990.
Shamans and healers are very famous and sought after in Latin America.
