Tourist Snaps Stunning Pictures of Unrecorded Indian Tribe

A curious little boy from a previously unrecorded Indian tribe peers tentatively from the bushes to catch what was most probably his first every glimpse of outsiders.

The incredible image was taken by British tourist Zara MacAlister during a river boat expedition deep in the remote forests of Peru in November last year.

The youngster, who was clutching a dead monkey, had a quick look at the weird strangers before disappearing off back into the safety of the jungle.

Zara, from Southampton in the UK, said: 'We'd heard that there were uncontacted tribes people in the area but we didn't expect to actually see any.

The tribe are known to inhabit the park but until recently were seldom seen. However sightings of them have increased in recent months. Illegal logging in the park and low flying helicopters from nearby oil and gas projects have been blamed for driving the Indians from their forest homes.
