Machiguenga indigenous people Antonio Aguilar (L) and Jesica Araoz pose with their children Manuel and Betsabe close to their home in Shipetiari, a village near the Alto Madre de Dios River, May 25, 2014. Isolated Peruvian tribes like Mashco Piro have clashed in the past with loggers, poachers and drug traffickers who invaded their jungle enclaves, but anthropologists say the lure of modern tools is now tempting them closer than ever to far-flung villages and tourist camps. Their sorties are dangerous, exposing them to the threat of violent encounters with terrified locals and modern-day diseases against which the hunter-gatherers have little immunity.
