Amazon Conservatory of Tropical
Studies (ACTS) Station:
Opened in 1993, ACTS, Amazon Conservatory of Tropical Studies, provides a research station
for scientists in the rainforest and an opportunity for layman to share in their discovery. The
large, thatched buildings are identical in construction to those found at Explorama Lodge. A
donation to maintain and protect the surrounding Reserve and Canopy Walkway is included in
the tariff for the ACTS Field Station. In addition to the Walkway, extensive trail hikes are
available including the "Medicine Trail" used specifically to show the local rainforest
plants used in modern medicine as well as examples of native plant remedies which science may
use in the future.
Upgrades in electronic communications is on-going at all lodges. Please check our

Utilities service for the latest
