Historically, when the Guató were able to move with the seasons, some lived entirely in their canoes in the flood season, even keeping a fire on soil in the canoe. The Guató seem to have evolved with developed chests, muscular arms and torsos, but rather short, bowed legs and flat feet, attributable to living mostly in canoes and with little time on land. Natural food items: Acuri palm, yatubá tree fruit, seeds of the aquatic plant "forno d'agua", wild rice (Oryza sativa or perennis) during the flood season, wild bananas, corn, manioc, beans; wild game, including: caiman (tails); turtles, lizards; anaconda; fish (with arrow, spear, hook), deer, monkey, ducks and other birds, jaguar, capybara. Men do much of the cooking. Animals kept include: horses, donkeys, chickens, pigs, cattle, cats, dogs for hunting, birds as pets The Guató conduct EarthFoot's Help the Guató Learn about Ecotourism experience.
