Introduction

An immersion in the largest biome on the planet, where nature, culture, and knowledge walk together.

The Amazon is one of the most extraordinary places on the planet — a true natural heritage of humanity. With the largest tropical rainforest in the world, it spans millions of square kilometres and is home to the greatest diversity of life ever recorded in a single biome. There are thousands of species of plants, animals, and microorganisms, many still unknown to science, coexisting in a delicate balance that sustains not only the region but the climate of the entire Earth.

Cut by an immense network of rivers — including the majestic Amazon River, the largest by volume in the world — the forest plays a fundamental role in rain production and the regulation of global temperatures. Its trees release large amounts of water vapour into the atmosphere, forming the so-called “flying rivers,” which carry moisture to various regions of South America.

In addition to its natural wealth, the Amazon is also a territory of great cultural diversity. Millions of people live in the region, including indigenous peoples and traditional communities that maintain ancestral knowledge, sustainable ways of life, and a deep respect for the forest.

Talking about the Amazon is talking about life, balance, and the future. Its preservation is essential not only for those who live in it but for the entire planet.

In this Community-Based Tourism itinerary, students live with riverside, indigenous, and extractive communities, learning about traditional ways of life, environmental preservation, biodiversity, and ancestral knowledge.

The forest becomes a living classroom, stimulating socio-environmental awareness, respect for cultural diversity, and reflection on the future of the planet. A transformative experience that connects science, culture, and global citizenship.

*Digital documents are also accepted, but there is a risk of the phone running out of battery or having issues, making access impossible.

We cannot medicate students; if they need to bring any medication, we advise that it be handed to the trip guide with instructions and prescription. *ATTENTION to the complete filling out of the Medical Form.
