About The Amazon Trail

The Amazon Trail is an educational adventure simulation set along the Amazon river. Players manage a journey involving resource planning, guide selection, and river navigation, encountering indigenous wildlife along the way.

Its narrative begins with a dream where a black jaguar, serving an Inca king, requests help. The Inca people are threatened by malaria and European contact, prompting a quest to find a cinchona plant in the past. This mission involves time travel and meetings with historical figures.

Gameplay integrates survival activities like fishing and photography with the exploration. Player performance is evaluated upon quest completion, with a final grade reflecting actions taken, species documented, and any extra offerings collected for the Inca king.
