Aldeia Tekoa Arandú
A road to Aldeia
The Tekoa Arandú indigenous community is located in one of the oldest territories of São Paulo and has been recognized and approved since 1987. There are two villages in this territory, Mbya Gurani and Tupi Guarani, and they are located on the Estrada Rio do Azeite. The access road is increasingly damaged due to the constant rain that occurs in our locality, because it is located in the Serra dos Itatins, a mountainous area where it rains most of the time unlike the city.

What our supporters say
“Aldeia Tekoa Arandu, south of Sao Paulo, is a truly unique and special place, where you can live in contact with the Guarani people, learn their traditions and their ancestral songs.
I am following the path of vision research, led by Karai Okenda, spiritual leader of Aldeia, there are no words to describe the beauty of this path, so much awareness, sacred connection with nature and care for the spirit.
When I am away from Aldeia I miss that special place, and all the people who live in the village.
Last year we were fortunate to meet Karai's father Wera Tupa, a 114 year old, it was an honor to receive his care and blessings.”

SUPPORTER"I found in the Tekoa Arandu village a place of peace and great introspection.
Life flows slowly, patiently and harmoniously, it leaves a lot of space for what is inside us, putting us in contact.
Knowing the Guaranì born and raised in this environment so far from our European ways of thinking offers a powerful change of perspective.
Here the roots of what surrounds us emerge, a transformative journey, supported by a people who have never lost contact with them."
