In southern Ethiopia, in the southern Omo river valley, living a high concentration of different ethnicities, including some of the most striking and surprising people of Africa. But the future creation of a large dam that affect the territory of many tribes, the future establishment of an airport and the paving of what are now dirt roads, with consequent ease of mass tourism can approach those distant territories, can radically change the traditional way of life of these tribes today and trust a good degree of the visit of tourism, which has caused some small towns become true theatrical shows for tourists.
