Yopo is a name of a perennial tree that was originated on the territory of South America and the Caribbean basin. Local tribes used its fetuses as the hallucinogen for many years. People stomped mystical seeds and made a powder that was used for ritual processions conducted by shamans. It should be noticed that there was Taino tribe on the island of Haiti where the Dominican Republic is situated now. The tribe also used Yopo to bow to gods and spirits.

Taino had a legend: initially, the Sun created different creatures the aim of which was to act as a medium between them and the Earth.
