Vegetation

Around the river there are many different kinds of plants. There are Jambo and Jatoba plants. Closer to the river we found Amora trees, which have berries that we ate. We also saw a giant plant called Samambaia- acu, and many others including Jabuticaba, Cipo mata- Pau, which looks like it is strangling the tree on which is grows, and Uva do Mato e o Inga.
