Kuripe and Tepi are two types of ceremonial pipes used by indigenous tribes in South America, particularly in countries like Brazil, Peru, and Colombia. These pipes are considered sacred tools and are used by shaman or healers during spiritual ceremonies.

​

The Kuripe and Tepi have similar designs but are used differently. The Kuripe is a small snuff pipe that is used for self-administration of rapé. The shaman or healer places a small amount of the powdered substance at one end of the Kuripe, places the other end into their nostril, and blow. This process is believed to clean the nasal cavity and induce a state of heightened awareness and connection with the spiritual realm.

​

On the other hand, the Tepi is a longer pipe that is used for blowing rapé into another person's nostril. This process is known as "blowing smoke" and is believed to facilitate healing or energetic cleansing.
