The garden (which has over 240 species of plants) is tended to by a local shaman and his apprentice.
“I originally went into this Project term feeling apprehensive and not knowing what to expect. But upon arrival, I was pleasantly surprised with vibrant colors, smiling faces and lively culture, from the market all the way to the villages up the Amazon River.”

Entering into the hut where we met the Shaman, it was unclear what to expect. We were taught about the materials the Shaman uses and learned about all the ways the plants in the jungle are used for healing. We were given the opportunity to experience a cleansing ceremony, which left us feeling relaxed and rejuvenated, like nothing else mattered. This was a very unique rich cultural experience that helped us learn about the appreciative ways to use the land.
Located adjacent to ExplorNapo, this is a teaching garden
