Colombia is the country of origin of the Bora ethnic group; however, at the end of the 19th century and until 1930, this indigenous person was subjected to extreme exploitation and slavery by the rubber companies that arrived in Colombia in search of rubber. This situation forced the Bora to leave their territories and move to distant places, taking them to the Peruvian Amazon. Today, the Bora settled between the borders of Colombia and Peru. The Peruvian Amazon comprises a humid tropical forest with lush vegetation and fauna, with enormous biodiversity where the Amazon River flows. Despite the changes that the Bora people underwent over many years, they maintain their ancient cultural practices. Even today, they use the names of animals or plants to refer to themselves, live together in the communal house or maloca, communicate through drums over great distances, and practice body painting. They also hang a type of doll at the entrance of their huts that they consider to be spiritual beings capable of attracting good luck, unity, and family prosperity. These dolls are called Chumbeco and are elaborate with the natural resources the Amazon jungle provides them. This Chumbeco doll was made with bombinate or toquilla straw (soft and flexible natural fiber obtained from the toquilla palm tree), topa or balsa wood (a tree with more than 30 meters of soft and light wood), and annatto (natural coloring that it is obtained from the annatto seed).
