Ivette Del Carmen Ramirez Rojo

Ivette grew up on the coast of the Sonora desert between Guaimas, Bahia de Kino, Desemboque and Punta Chueca.
Raised by her father, from young age living as traditional nomadic fisherman, always moving along the shoreline.

Ivette received shamanic initiation and teachings from the elder shamans of Punta Chueca, Tata Moises Romero and Raymondo Barnet. She is an active member of the tribe, with extensive knowledge and practice of the rituals and original language of the tribe.

Ivette now lives in Hermosillo and has been serving the Bufo Alvarius natural medicine for 8 years. As Secretary of the Council of Elders of the community of Punta Chueca, she is also certified by the Comcaac tribe and Mexican authorities for the seasonal extraction and recollection of the Otac medicine from the wild desert toads. We are proud to underline that the certification guarantees that the Bufo Alvarius medicine used by Xanga Guru Experiences is 100% natural, extracted with the best practice of ethical handling for the toads, without harm to the animals.
Ivette has been partner and collaborator of Xanga Guru since 2020, organizing together Etno-cultural visits to the region, to the Seri tribe and to the community of the Triquis that migrated from Oaxaca to the town of Miguel Aleman, Sonora.
