The Amarakaeri Communal Reserve (Reserva Comunal Amarakaeri) is a protected area in Peru located in the Madre de Dios Region, Manú Province. It protects parts of the Southwest Amazon moist forests and Peruvian Yungas ecoregions.[1]
Located in the reserve is the "Harakbut Face" that resembles a man's face. It is known by the native Harakbut tribesmen as the Rostro, which means face in their native language.[2] The Harakbut people see the statue as a god. [3] It was discovered in 2014. The native people did speak of it in oral history for generations, but had forgotten where it was located at. Peru has declared it a Cultural Heritage of the Nation.[4]
