Here nature is the sovereign queen

Here you will know an exuberant place in the heart of a preserved and intact Amazon forest. It’s about a private property used for activities directed to the ecotourism as wild camping, trekking, hiking, fishing, birds and wild life watching, diving in narrow crystalline water rivers, etc. Located in the Aracá river, tributary of the Negro river, distant 85km (straight-line) of the urban area of the Barcelos City/Amazon/Brazil. Here nature is the sovereign queen. Its secrets and mysteries well are protected in a fusing in a mix of adventure and exuberance. Few people have had the privilege (and the luck) of knowing this wonderful place. Come be one of them!

Exotic Plants, Giant trees and Local fruit

Exotic plant species found at the floor of some narrow rivers. It’s about a species probably not cataloged by science. Once you remove one piece (sliver), it regenerates in about 20 minutes. It’s widely used by forest men`s who use their internal juice for rapid healing of open wound (sore, lesion).
