Plant Exploration
For the aspiring botanist or simply a curious observer, the Amazon has plenty to offer. The Amazon region is home to tens of thousands of plant species, many of which are the source of modern medicines and local remedies.

Plant exploration excursions are an interactive experience where you and your guide will discover the diversity of rain forest plant life. You'll see the source of Curaré, the chemical compound that makes modern anesthetics in surgery possible. Learn about "dragon's blood", a sap from a tree that when applied to the skin forms a protective layer like a natural Band-Aid. Not only are plant explorations educational, you'll be able to take amazing photos to chronicle your time in the gorgeous Amazon rain forest.
