00:00 On top of a rocky mountain in Peru, shamans dressed in bright colours and feathered hats
00:06 rattle instruments and chant.
00:08 They've made their traditional annual predictions for the year to come.
00:13 Blowing smoke from cocoa leaves and waving yellow petals, first up on the agenda is Argentinian
00:19 President Javier Mele.
00:23 We saw that President Mele will have a very complicated time in government.
00:27 It will not be as easy for him as it may seem.
00:30 It will be a bit complicated and he will end up in limbo.
00:34 He will receive foreign aid to be able to stay in office.
00:38 The shamans pray to Mother Earth and drink the traditional plant medicine and powerful
00:42 hallucinogen ayahuasca.
00:45 Here they give a foresight into the conflict in the Middle East.
00:51 The conflict will continue but it will die out like a fire, a wick or a candle.
00:54 It will abate little by little, it will not end from one day to the next.
00:59 And for the former Peruvian President, bad news.
01:03 He will return to prison and himself will deteriorate.
01:07 Perhaps we will receive bad news this year.
01:10 And finally, how could the South Americans leave out football?
01:15 We saw that the two favourites will be Uruguay and Argentina.
01:19 Brazil will also be close, but the two favourites to win the Copa America title will be a hard
01:24 one.
01:25 Argentina and Uruguay.
01:26 It's believed shamans in Peru have used ayahuasca as far back as 900 BC.
