Handcrafted tradition. Natural artistry. Sacred connection.

The Ukupacha Bamboo Kuripe – Ararunart Feather Edition is a finely handcrafted piece of ancestral artistry, created with deep respect for indigenous tradition and natural materials. Made from sustainably sourced bamboo and decorated with pyrography, natural fibers, and soft leather elements, each Kuripe is a one-of-a-kind tool that embodies the spirit of slow craft and intentional creation.

Designed in collaboration with Ararunart, this piece reflects centuries-old Amazonian craftsmanship while aligning with Ukupacha’s mission: preserving cultural heritage, honoring artisans, and offering meaningful tools rooted in nature and tradition.

A Kuripe is traditionally used in various Amazonian cultures as a personal tool for:

• directing sacred herbal snuff in private rituals

• supporting moments of intention, grounding, or reflection

• connecting with ancestral practices and indigenous craftsmanship

• deepening meditative or spiritual experiences

• enhancing ceremonial settings with meaningful handmade artifacts

It is valued both for its practical purpose and for its role as a symbolic, culturally significant object.

Because every Bamboo Kuripe is handmade, natural variations in shape, color, and design make each piece truly unique. No two Kuripes are ever identical - each one tells its own story.

Whether used in traditional ceremonial settings or appreciated simply as a beautifully crafted object, this Kuripe carries the energy of the Hyacinth Macaw and the hands that shaped it.
