Amerrikua is the name of the maloca (indigenous house) of Taita (shaman) Luis Flores and his wife Meche Flores. It is near Mocoa, the capital of the Putumayo department in Colombia . In the maloca, Luis and Meche receive people from all over the world that need to cure themselves of physical or psychological illnesses or desire to cleanse themselves of emotional problems, stress etc. I had the opportunity to spend ten days with Luis and Meche from the 28 th of December to the 8 th of January 2006. To the melody of multiple birds, Luis’s guitar, through the hospitality of Meche, her delicious food and surrounded by a scenery of absolute beauty, I lived a unique moment of peace, sanity and relaxation. In the old website of Intermundos, I reunited varied information about this magical place.
