Isolated Tribes for a Reason
Uncontacted Tribes are maybe more common, I tend to believe undiscovered tribes are rare on the planet. The proper use of words is isolated tribes, or isolated groups of people living in isolated places.

There is a reason they are isolated, although the words contacted and undiscovered are maybe a reach.

The Blue X are areas where Survival International say there are tribes, this is a not as isolated as where I have typed the white letter, “Isolated.”

When I arrive in Pucallpa today, I will be within 100 Miles or Kilometers from where they say there are “Uncontacted Tribes,” however, I feel bridging on pure junk science.

LOOK AT the LINK above, the URL or Link even says,
“Isolated.” hehehe too funny, even the way they labeled is not Un-Contacted.

This is travel by jungle river area, the Amazon or Ucayali and all the tributaries that enter these rivers. 100 Miles is a distance here, however not 500 likes the white letters that say “Isolated.” Loggers must get their logs to the market or big cities, and the Oil people use helicopters and planes to reach these areas.

Isolation has variable to understand and why they are Isolated:

1. Time is the biggest factor; it takes weeks to enter into some of th! ese areas by boats if even possible.

2. Fear is probably wh at stops most people, the fear of the unknown.

3. Reason, there is no reason other than for Logger or Oil people to enter these areas.

4. Cost, or price of these expeditions is prohibitive, and the faster a person enters one of these areas the more expensive it becomes.

5. Governmental Restrictions, it is not just easy to avoid the Governments where a Mayor or a Tribal type chief and just go wonder around here.

6. Transportation, this is more a boat and trek trip, provisions are needed and how does one stage this.

7. Scientist are normally wimp, weak, not up to most of this type of adventure, normally nerds.

I have been studying the maps I can find of the area, anyway I do it, the best I can do for a first try would be to go listen to the people talk in small areas, if the Spanish is not used, this would be a good sign that I am leaving the normal area.
