Mark and Olly "Living with the Machigenga" starts Feb 8th on the Travel Channel. If this is anything like their previous shows, it is well worth watching.

You mean these guys don't study indigenous tribes in the arctic? Are they the exo-cultural equivalent of Baywatch?Evo said:Two scantily clad, hot, sweaty, good looking guys. Hubba Hubba
Of course I only watch it for the social, historical and scientific information.
Aside from the <cough> beefcake, the two of them are really good. Olly is attempting to chronicle these tribes before they disappear. Mark es mas macho.turbo-1 said:You mean these guys don't study indigenous tribes in the arctic? Are they the exo-cultural equivalent of Baywatch?
I get it. They are the Bobby Flay of anthropology and you think they are hot enough to watch even if their "studies" are designed to sell broadcast time. I hope they are REALLY cute, because even Rachael Raye with all her fawning and flirting cannot make me take any of her cooking "talent" seriously. I think I could turn her into a cook, but it would take at least a year or two, and she would have to learn how to stop listening with her mouth.Evo said:Aside from the <cough> beefcake, the two of them are really good.

The Machigenga tribe is an indigenous group of people living in the Peruvian Amazon, primarily in the Madre de Dios region. They are a semi-nomadic tribe known for their traditional way of life and deep connection to the rainforest.
Living with the Machigenga tribe is a unique and immersive experience. It involves adapting to their way of life, which includes hunting, fishing, and gathering food from the rainforest, as well as participating in their cultural traditions and rituals.
Some challenges of living with the Machigenga tribe include adapting to their lifestyle and customs, which may be vastly different from modern society. Additionally, communication and language barriers may also present challenges.
Living with the Machigenga tribe can provide a valuable opportunity to learn about their culture, traditions, and way of life. It can also offer insights into sustainability and the importance of preserving the rainforest, as the Machigenga have a deep understanding and respect for their environment.
There are various organizations and programs that offer opportunities to live with the Machigenga tribe, typically through organized tours or volunteer programs. It is important to research and choose a reputable organization that prioritizes ethical and respectful interactions with the tribe.
