Kirineri

The Kirineri are a South American ethnic group or an isolated people of the Arawak in the rainforest area of southeastern Peru .

The settlement area of the Kirineri is somewhere on the upper reaches of the Rio Paquiria, a tributary of the Urubamba in the reserve for peoples with voluntary isolation or initial contacts Kugapakori, Nahua, Nanti y Otros .

According to the few reports available, their language is reminiscent of the Machiguenga . Their physical appearance, however, is described completely differently than that of typical rainforest Indians: They are tall and bearded.
