Over 50 types of indigenous plant and tree species have been planted at the Marina Village on Bastimentos. These plants include edible items such as passion fruit, star fruit, coffee, and amazon tree grape. There are also a number of plants that give off pleasant aromas that visitors will enjoy (these scents also help repel bugs). Heliconia & hibiscus should bring many birds and frogs to the area.
Our unique tropical climate is conducive to the growth of thousands of different types of tree and plant species. We want to share a slice of the rainforest with you by bringing this amazing array of biodiversity right to your doorstep. That’s why we’ve decided to initiate a landscaping program that is organic, eco-friendly, and uses the native species that thrive in this area. The Nursery is in an idyllic location, set on hillside overlooking the rainforest just a short walk from the marina.
Several different species can be found here, including: starfruit, pepper plant, curry plant, cilantro plant, mango, pineapple, banana or plantain, hibiscus, cinnamon, etc. A complete list is as follows:
