During his recent trip to Ecuador, Canadian singer Shawn Mendes (25) spent several days with the indigenous Sarayaku people in the Amazon region. In photos published on the Internet, he can be seen together with indigenous people at a campfire and in a boat.
“Singer Shawn Mendes visited the Sarayaku people. During his stay, he shared the daily life of the young people and played soccer, made music, got to know the trees and learned about our fight to protect the rainforest,” the group wrote on Instagram.
The musician’s (“Señorita”, “When You’re Gone”) visit to the rainforest was organized by Ecuador’s tourism minister, Niels Olsen. “I hope the nice people made you feel at home and that our country continues to inspire you in your art,” he wrote on X. “Ecuador is your home. We await you with open arms if you want to continue exploring this special country.”
