"No baixo Putumayo, perto de Mocoa, há uma cachoeira que hoje chamam de “El pozo del indio” (O poço do índio), mas que na verdade se chama “Kuri yaku”, que significa “Rio de ouro”. É um lugar mágico, com muitas lembranças da minha infância, do ambiente cultural, do xamanismo, da espiritualidade e da estreita conexão com a natureza. Espero que os extrativistas gananciosos de hoje nunca encontrem o ouro que esse rio tem. Seus entardeceres e amanheceres me trazem imagens muito nítidas com seus sons e silêncios. Os indígenas prestam muito tributo e culto a lugares como esse, que são sagrados." - Carlos Jacanamijoy
["In the lower Putumayo region near Mocoa, there is a waterfall that today is called “El pozo del indio” (The Indian's Well), but its real name is “Kuri yaku,” which means “River of Gold.” It is a magical place that holds many memories of my childhood, of cultural surroundings, shamanism, spirituality, and a close connection with nature. I hope that today's greedy extractivists never find the gold in that river. Its sunsets and sunrises bring back very clear images with their sounds and silences. The indigenous people pay great tribute and worship to places like this; they are sacred sites." - Carlos Jacanamijoy]
