Experience

Koda and his father arrived at Caballococha in eastern Peru, marking the beginning of their long-awaited journey into the Amazon rainforest. Every night, Koda found it difficult to fall asleep. While lying under his blankets, he sketched everything he had seen during the day. Visitors will be able to experience his imagination come to life through our luminous lights and lanterns! However, perhaps due to his excitement, his memories and imagination started to merge, creating a magical fusion of animals and plants… Koda needs your help to find his missing memory fragments. If you successfully help him recall his memories, he will have a gift waiting for you at the end! Make sure to read each hint carefully and pay attention as you make your way through this adventure to redeem your prize!
