Guayabe

The Guayabe, better known as the Guayabero or Jiw, are an indigenous people of the eastern Colombian plains, originally of the Ariari basin and the Guayabero River and later settled along the gallery forests of the Guaviare. They speak a Guahibo-family language and were traditionally nomadic, canoe-using hunters and fishers who planted bitter yuca in rotating forest gardens.
