The Achuar are an Indigenous people of the Americas belonging to the Jivaroan family, alongside the Shuar, Shiwiar, Awajun, and Wampis (Perú). They are settled along the banks of the Pastaza River, Huasaga River, and on the borders between Ecuador and Perú. The word "Achuar" originates from the name of the large palm trees called "Achu" (Mauritia flexuosa) that are abundant in the swamps within their territory.
In the past, the Achuar were traditionally feared warriors by the Shuar, known for their relentless pursuit of enemies. During the Cenepa War, the Achuar from Ecuador and Peru formed an alliance and maintained a neutral stance.[3][4][5]
