This is Nancamo our Huaorani guide showing us how to climb trees Huaorani style. They tie vines into a loop which is then placed around the feet and used to scale the smooth unbranched tree trunk to reach the canopy. Nancamo scaled this tree in about 20seconds(!!!), meanwhile I was pretty proud I managed to struggle about a third of the way up
