Biodiversity
Your expedition will be a treat for your eyes and ears, as
biodiversity is all over.
Local fauna includes hundreds of
capuchin and woolly monkeys, macaws, parrots, boas, caimans,
anacondas, toucans, capybaras and collared peccaries. In a recent
study, 44 species of mammals and 42 species of birds have been
identified in our territory, although many more exist undiscovered.
Of course, there are also hundreds of fishes and insects, from giant
butterflies to huge tarantulas. You will probably see all of the
above on our river trips and lagoon explorations. You might even see
pink river dolphins if you are lucky.
There are more plant
species here than what you could imagine, as this is the greatest
forest on Earth! You will see timber wood trees, medicinal plants
like caoba, moral, pechiche, canelo, drago, uña de gato, and the
famous ayahuasca. We will show you all of this in our forest walk.

site.
