Education Packages

All of our environmental educational packages are tailor-made. After understanding the group’s interests, our Educational Program Coordinator & Research Coordinator create a program with suggested activities to be developed with our on-site biologist and naturalist guides.

Normally, groups have already been working on these topics and come to Veragua to apply their studies.

All of our programs include an excellent introduction to the rainforest:

Live exhibits of snakes, frogs an toads, and buttuerflies

Students will be led through a collection of world-class live exhibits of reptiles, amphibians and butterflies. With the help of our expert naturalist guides and exhibit stations, students will learn relevant and interesting information (e.g., regions found, maximun size, eating habits, etc.).

Veragua Sky Gondola Ride

This tour includes an exciting Sky Gondola ride through the rainforest canopy down to the river valley bottom. Gliding silently by mammoth 300 years old trees, and uninterrupted rainforest views are some of the highlights of the tram ride.

The Giants and Puma Waterfall Trails

Upon reaching the buttom, students will disembark and enjoy a guided walk on the welll-maintained Trail of the Giants along the Victoria River.
