The Cassava, yuca, or manioc, is the most consumed root vegetable in the Amazon. For most communities, it is the main source of income and carbohydrates. From the Cassava it is extracted a flour and a liquid present in everyday dishes. Some species may contain the lethal cyanide, and it takes an interesting antient procedure to make the root edible.

Livramento Community takes part in a Project for the Amazon preservation. They have the knowledge and plant nursery to reforestate old plantations and cattle pasture with native species. They also manage chelonians, helping their eggs to hetch and releasing the animals once a year, which protects them from predatory hunting. Note that, as some of this activities are sazonal, at the time of your visit, plants might be at different sizes and cheloninans might be either hatching, in water tanks or reproducing. The best time to watch their release is on May. Contact us for more information.

The oldest habitants of these lands are indigenous people from the Tupi, Waimiri Atroari and Hixcaryana ethnies. Many of their artefacts are still to be found nowadays, in form of clay handcrafts wich depicts their routine, habits and animals interaction. Some of the artefacts date two thousand years B.C. and you will have a class about them.

After that, you can get to learn and make special handcrafts with amazonian raw materials, which you can take with you as a record of this nice experience.

In the evening we´ll hop on a boat adventure to watch the sunset on the middle of the river and watch alligators by the night. During this experience the motors are turned off so we can hear the true sounds of nature.
