Also, doing recognition of medicinal plants, timber trees and their main characteristics; specific associations that occur between plants, trees and animals, parasitic plants, epiphytes and vines. We will learn how to cut and drink from the "water liana", a vine that can be used as a survival technique. Remember to be very attentive during the walk, paying close attention to our surroundings, especially to the canopy of the forest, trying to identify sloths and species of monkeys that will find themselves feeding and carrying out their daily activities in their natural habitat. You can also see varieties of birds, insects, arachnids, reptiles and amphibians. If we are lucky we can see different species of boas, including the anaconda or the Amazonian jaguar when it comes to drink water on the shores of the lagoons.
