The forest is also a pharmacy for the people. Here they find medicines that relax and help against any sufferings, such as burns, problems during pregnancy, hair loss or even jealousy.

This fruit is called Ingá. Its fluffy white pulp tastes pleasantly sweet.

The Urikuri palms are felled and their leaves are prepared for the construction of the roofs of the houses and malocas as well as for the handicrafts of the women.

You have to be careful of this giant black ant, the so-called bullet ant, which marches along the leaf. When it feels threatened and stings, you feel a great pain that lasts up to 24 hours.
