Kichwas Amazónicas

The Amazonian Kichwas number between 30,000 and 40,000 inhabitants divided into two subgroups: Napo Kichwas of the Upper Napo river and the Canelos Kichwas, located in the province of Pastaza. They speak the Kichwa language which was present in the Amazonia before the conquest as a trade language and introduced from the Andean mountains in the seventeenth century by Catholic missionaries.
