ABOUT

In myths and religion from the mestizos in the Amazon rainforest, the Sachamama is a giant snake who is said to be the mother of the jungle. The Sachamama manifests itself as a giant boa snake rather than an anaconda. It is incredibly patient and can sit still for hundreds of years while it waits for suitable prey to pass by. When a potential meal approaches, the snake hypnotizes it with its magical powers to make it come closer.
