· Native Plants

As he guides you through Bogarin Trail, Geovani demonstrates the many uses of native plants, including:
  • using the rubber tree to waterproof nylon bags or keep away mosquitos
  • making toothpaste foam from the rubiacea
  • treating stomach pain with the muscle-relaxant Gavilana tea
  • treating pain, washing hands, and repelling insects with piperaciae (black pepper family)
You'll also learn about edible plants, like heart of palm, and poisonous plants, like the tree with seed pods so poisonous no animal dares to eat them.

Tour takes place in Bogarin Trail, and lasts 2 hours.
