Manguare

 
 


The Communication system in the Amazon

 
 

The Manguare is an instrument used by the indigenous communities of the Amazon to announce  ceremonies and  war. The  instrument makes sounds that    can be heard  20 kilometers away.

Today the  instrument is  used to  call  for  conservation of the protected areas in the Amazon basin.
