Ethnotourism in Puerto Carreño
Western tourists often come to the tropics with expectations not based upon the authentic way of life of Indigenous peoples. Tourism companies may provide performances that satisfy these expectations, but also find resistance from groups within each county that have different conceptions of post-colonialism.
