"While touring the Amazon basin, we attended a 'cleansing,' or healing ceremony, an ancient ritual practiced by the locals. Each of us on the tour had the opportunity to be cleansed by the shaman ... Only small group travel provides the opportunity for such vivid experiences." Here, Helena Hubner, 9-time traveler from Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, experiences the powers of the shaman, as photographed by 8-time traveler, Larry Dean, from Damascus, Maryland.
