The Mystical Shamans of Peru

Dive into the rich and diverse traditions of Peruvian shamans. Photographer Diana Abagnoli decided to find out more about shamans - or Curandero’s - and their intricate traditions after the Mayan “end of days” prophecy for December 2012 sparked worldwide intrigue. During June and July of 2015, Diana travelled to three different locations to track down true shamans and document their practices.
