This article treats several narratives of explorers of the Putumayo region (Amazonia) in different historical moments, identifying a series of elements that are common in all of them. Specifically, we have the image of the jungle as an underworld, in opposition to the civilization, and the figure of the explorer as a kind of hero who descends on it and fulfills a transformative journey that, eventually, leads him to the redemption by returning to the civilized world. It is the epic of the descent of the white man in the underworld of the jungle. In addition to the forest, the explorer will find in the underworld the "wild" Indians who are an integral part of it, from the encounter with these figures can be understood several mechanisms on how the white understands, in this specific context, its relationship with the otherness. * Doutor em Antropologia pelo Programa de Pós-Graduação em Sociologia e Antropologia da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (PPGSA-UFRJ) (2017).
