The Bora people have been related to the Murui-Muinanɨ and Ocaina peoples because they share a history and have some common cultural practices. In our country, the Bora are the only indigenous people whose language belongs to the Bora linguistic family.

The Bora are known, among other things, for the use of a communication system that served to transmit long distances between large multi-family houses. To do this, they used the manguaré, a communication instrument based on two mahogany drums and mahogany mallets and with which they emit sounds with tones similar to those of the Bora language.

The Bora people live mainly in the north-eastern part of the department of Loreto in Perú, near the border with Colombia.
