Meeting Indigenous Tribes While Sailing Brazil — Sailing Yabá 282

Episode 282 | Sailing to an indigenous village to learn about their culture, traditions and even join an ancestral medicinal ritual (that made me lose my mind).
In this episode, we share our experience visiting two Indigenous communities in Brazil: the Guarani and the Pataxó. Their songs, dances, and rituals are expressions of ancestral traditions that deserve respect. Among them, we were invited to participate in a sacred medicine ritual using a preparation made from tobacco and medicinal plants, an ancient practice rooted in spirituality and healing. We are grateful to have been welcomed, and we share this with humility and respect.

🌎 About Us:
We’re Ben & MP, a couple sailing the world (or trying to) on Yabá, our 80+ ft wooden schooner with our two dogs. But this wasn’t always our life.
In 2020, we found Yabá abandoned, sinking, and on the verge of being lost forever. We had no experience in boatbuilding, only a wild dream and the determination to make it happen. We worked relentlessly, learning from the best local shipwrights and pouring everything we had into this rebuild. It took four years of sweat, setbacks, and unwavering commitment, but today, Yabá is more than just a boat, she’s our home, our biggest adventure, and the proof that crazy dreams can come true.
Now, we’re sailing into the unknown, exploring remote islands, embracing the unpredictable and sharing the highs, the lows, and everything in between. Join us as we chase the horizon!
