The Huitoto are an indigenous people primarily found in the Amazon rainforest, particularly in Colombia and Peru. They speak the Huitoto language, which belongs to the Huitotoan language family. Traditionally, the Huitoto have relied on hunting, fishing, and agriculture for their sustenance, cultivating crops like cassava and plantains. Huitoto culture is rich in oral traditions, music, and art, often reflecting their deep connection to nature.

Efforts are ongoing to preserve their culture and promote their rights within the broader context of indigenous communities.
