As an ethno-botanist Dr. Rocio Alarcon has spent almost two decades in the remote villages of El Oriente collecting information about forest plants from local tribes. She may now know more about indigenous populations than anyone in Ecuador earning her the respect from Indian groups throughout the region.
Alarcon says, "My mother was a botanist. It came naturally to me. In college I realized the only way to understand the forest was through the eyes of people who lived there. The forest is infinite, and their knowledge is infinite. In a lifetime I will never learn it all."

Dr. Rocio Alarcon
"The shaman and his community share a set of beliefs that form a collective world view that dominates the psychological and physical experience of each person. One difference between their view and ours is that we separate the physical and the spiritual world. They do not. In their minds there is no barrier between dream and reality, and they move easily between one and the other."
