In the middle of the missionary jungle, in the northeast of Argentina, lives a community deeply linked in spiritual and daily life to their ancestral culture.

 Among the richness of their cultural practices there is one that goes through their lives: the use of the petyngua.

 

Many use these pipes, but few still know the traditional techniques for their manufacture. Nicanor wants to learn, so that knowledge about mbya guarani ceramics will remain in his community.
