7月23日，在秘鲁马德雷德迪奥斯河边，一位开普敦大学的教授目击了一个与世隔绝的亚马逊原始部落居民出现。

这个部落被称为麦斯可皮洛，生活在秘鲁境内亚马逊丛林的深处，至今未曾受到现代文明影响。部落居民都是土著人，已经在丛林中居住了600多年。

曾经当地的土著是食人族，随着不断的与外界接触，逐渐开始开垦丛林，种植木薯等作物，现在他们已经不吃人了，主要从狩猎和捕鱼的活动中获得食物。目前这个部落仍然过着在雨林中四处漫游、狩猎采摘的生活。也有一部分土著民已经离开了雨林，与语言相近的印第安人一起生活。

今年五月，一名20岁男子曾被该部落土著居民用弓箭射杀，因为土著居民想获得这名男子携带的工具。2011年，部落居民还杀害过一名本地向导。

官方正在尝试与这一部落接触，并试着用服装、食物甚至是啤酒来引诱他们从雨林中出来。但外界的任何接触对于这个原始部落来说，都可能是致命的。

据了解，全世界大约还有100个这样的部落，与世隔绝，拒绝与文明社会接触。

Chance encounters near an isolated Amazon tribe have resulted in the most detailed pictures ever taken of them.

Campaign group Survival International has released images of the Mashco-Piro tribe, which lives near the Manu National Park in southeastern Peru.

The tribe has had little if any peaceful contact with the outside world, but sightings are on the rise.

Survival blames the change on gas and oil projects and illegal logging in the area, pushing the tribe into new lands.

The message that the Mashco-Piro tribe seems to be sending, however, is that they want to be left alone.

"There's been increasing conflict and violence against outsiders that are on their ancestral land," Survival's Peru campaigner Rebecca Spooner said.

That violence has included arrows being fired at tourists in passing boats, and a warning arrow - with no tip - being recently fired at a Manu park ranger.

An account of the attack by anthropologist Glenn Shepardunderlines the fact that the tribe is fearful of forming ties with the world around them.

So it was at a respectful distance of 120m that Spanish archaeologist Diego Cortijo snapped pictures of the tribe using a telescope mounted on a camera, capturing the most detailed images ever taken of such "uncontacted" tribes, many of whom are detailedat a site of the same name.
