The award-winning VR installation "Inside Tumucumaque" takes us on a unique journey. 400 hectares of virtual Brazilian rainforest can be explored in the installation: On the ground, in the air and in the water, during the day and at night. Using VR glasses, visitors immerse themselves in the world of the Amazon and experience the jungle live from the perspective of the species living there. How does it feel to navigate through the rainforest at night as a vampire bat? How does the world appear to me as a giant bird spider? And how do I manage to keep an eye on my surroundings as a black caiman, lurking motionless in the water? The visitors have the unique opportunity - pandemic-proof and completely risk-free - to embark on a journey into the Amazon and discover its beauty.
