The Bora are an Indigenous tribe of the Peruvian, Colombian, and Brazilian Amazon, located between the Napo, Putumayo and Caqueta rivers.

Like other indigenous peoples of the Peruvian Amazon, such as the Urarina,[2] plants, especially trees, hold a complex and important interest for the Bora.

[citation needed] The Bora have guarded their lands from both indigenous foes and outsider colonials.

Around the time of the 20th century, the rubber boom and Putumayo genocide had a devastating impact on the Boras, which suffered enslavement, physical abuse, and other detriments to their population.

An unknown number of Bora people fled across the Caqueta River during this time period.
