O Museum of the Amazon (Muse) is with news. Now, on the way to the observation tower, visitors can enter one of the trails and see the 'Mistério do Angelim Caído'. The tree is a Rock Angelim (Hymenolobium petraeum Ducke) that fell by itself at least six years ago, and a new ecosystem has formed around the trunk and branches fallen into the ground.
With the help of specialists from the National Institute for Amazon Research (Inpa), the Muse hopes to soon reveal how old the tree is, how long ago it fell and other information that may be relevant for future research. An elevated structure has been set up so that visitors can observe the tree on its trunk.
Thereás still other options at the Muse for the vacationing visitor. "The orchids are beautiful and we have great vitórias-régias that reach almost two meters in diameter," points out the director of the Museum, Ennio Candotti.
Muse
The Museum of Amazonia is located in the Adolpho Ducke Forest Reserve (Av. Margarita, s/n - Jorge Teixeira), a primary forest in the urban area of Manaus. In Musa, visitors can have closer contact with the fauna and flora of the Amazon by walking the trails, and learn more about the indigenous culture in exhibitions that highlight fishing and agriculture in regions of the Amazon interior.
