Straight from the heart of the rainforest, the Brazil nut is more than a superfood — it’s a symbol of life, culture, and conservation.

Harvested traditionally by local communities, this nutrient-rich seed carries stories of resilience, ecological balance, and a deep connection to nature.

Packed with selenium, protein, and healthy fats, the Brazil nut nourishes the body and protects the forest: each standing tree is a powerful ally in conservation.

By choosing sustainably sourced Brazil nuts, you’re supporting forest families, honoring ancestral knowledge, and helping keep the rainforest alive and thriving.

Flavor, health, and conservation — all in one seed.
Have you ever tasted a real Amazonian Brazil nut?

Açaí Season Begins in the Amazon! 🌿🫐

In the heart of the Amazon, the much-anticipated açaí season has begun! This deep purple berry, now a global superfood, has been a staple for indigenous and riverine communities for centuries. Harvested from the towering Euterpe oleracea palms, açaí is more than just a trend—it’s a source of energy, nutrition, and deep cultural significance.

Rich in antioxidants, fiber, and healthy fats, açaí plays a key role in Amazonian diets, traditionally enjoyed as a thick, nourishing pulp. Unlike the sweetened smoothie bowls found worldwide, in the Amazon, it’s often served pure, sometimes with tapioca pearls, fish, or farinha, offering a true taste of the rainforest.

At Amazon Emotions, we celebrate the connection between food, culture, and conservation. By experiencing local traditions, we not only savor the richness of Amazonian flavors but also support the communities who have preserved these ancient practices.

Would you try authentic Amazonian açaí on your next adventure?

The Staple of the Amazon: Cassava Flour & Beyond 🌿✨

In the Amazon, cassava flour (farinha de mandioca) isn’t just food—it’s a cultural pillar, a daily essential that has sustained communities for centuries. From riverside villages to bustling city markets, this golden flour accompanies every meal, adding texture, flavor, and energy to Amazonian cuisine.

But did you know that cassava flour is just one of many? The region’s rich biodiversity offers alternatives like farinha de pupunha (peach palm flour), made from the nutritious fruit of the pupunha palm. Each type of flour tells a story of tradition, resilience, and deep connection to the forest.

Producing these flours is a labor-intensive process, requiring days of careful work. From harvesting and peeling to grating, pressing, drying, and roasting, every step is done with patience and skill—an ancestral knowledge passed down through generations.

When you taste Amazonian cuisine, you’re experiencing more than flavors—you’re embracing the wisdom of those who live in harmony with the land. 🌱🌎

🍃Guaraná: Nature’s Energy Booster🍃

Native to the Amazon, guaraná (Paullinia cupana) is renowned for its caffeine-rich seeds, used for centuries to boost energy and focus. Globally popular in energy drinks and powders, it is currently fruiting (November to January), with its bright red fruits revealing black seeds. We are now in the guaraná fruit season, and as part of our “jungle-to-table” experience, we are harvesting this remarkable plant to incorporate into the daily diet of our guests staying at the Refuge Lodge.

A Bit Of Our History

Amazon Emotions is committed on offering experiential and conservation-conscious itineraries to promote sustainable tourism, raise awareness and support for the community development sector. Whilst the Amazon Emotions office is located in 667 acres of virgin forest in Presidente Figueiredo, known on the Brazilian Amazon as the Land of Waterfalls, is home to the most beautiful waterfalls near Manaus and the birdwatching spot for viewing the Galo-da-Serra (Guianan cock-of-the-rock), it will be offering itineraries across Amazon region.

That dream started as a company named Tropical Tree Climbing, which first opened its doors in 2006, offering an insight into the world of a family for whom nature conservation is a way of life. Recognized as one of 7 offbeat adventures from around the world in National Geographic Travel, few years later, Vanessa Marino – the owner of Amazon Emotions – a passionate conservationist with over 23 years of combined experience in the conservation and tourism industries, with her 3 kids rebranded the company to Amazon Emotions, hence the current celebration of 14 years of sustainability, adventure, and passion for exploring. After this, she incorporated community-based tourism as a key component of her journeys to indigenous communities, managing both the impacts and the benefits of this tourism, strengthening their self-governance, economic alternatives, and traditional ways of life in the process.

Vanessa’s work have featured regularly in international television documentaries and magazines, as well as a public speaker who is passionately dedicated to wildlife conservation, community-based tourism and transformational travel, dealing with the important issue of how travel has the power to protect nature, benefit communities and preserve cultural heritage—principles she view not only as her goal, but our responsibility.
