Amazonian shamans are typically named for the plants that they specialize in. The shaman learns different shamanic abilities and capacities from the different plants they use. It is possible for the shaman to specialize in different plants. When they do they hold titles in each kind of shamanism. 
At Blue Morpho, the shamans are considered masters of three disciplines: Ayahuasca, Palos, and Sanago.

Ayahuasquero:
The ayahuasquero specializes in the use of ayahuasca. Ayahuasca is traditionally made with three or four prinicipal ingredients ayahuasca vine, chakruna leaves, mapacho (jungle tobacco) and toé (a type of brugmansia). The shaman hosts ayahuasca ceremonies where they function as guide and healer by invoking healing spirits through icaros (healing chants). The icaro is a system of communication between the shaman and the spirits including the spirits of the participants in the ceremony. As the shaman sings they manage all of the energies present in the ceremony. The ayahuasquero trains through a strict apprenticeship including the drinking of ayahuasca hundreds of times in the presence of a maestro over years.

Palero:
The palero specializes in the use of the Amazonian medicinal trees. The shaman typically uses the barks of the trees in teas that are administered during dietas (a special time of a determined number of days where the participant drinks the tea of the barks and eats a very restricted diet). The paleros are divided into two principal types even though they are not differentiated in their title. The first is from high jungle (jungle that does not experience seasonal flooding in the year) and the second is from low jungle (jungle that does experience seasonal flooding.) This differentiation is made between the two types of paleros since they work with different species of trees. It is possible to train with and work with both sets of trees if the shaman has access to the different species. The palero shaman trains under the tutelage of their maestro drinking the teas made from the barks of the trees following the strict dietas over the course of years. During the dietas the shaman is expected to restrain from sexual conduct and the consumption of alcoholic beverages.

Sananguero:
The sananguero specializes in the use of the Sanango trees. While there are different types of sanango the majority of the shamans utilize Uchoo (spicy) or Chiric (shivering) Sanango. Sanago is typically administered during dietas where a solution of the root bark and water is drunk late at night. The sanango is considered a very powerful and potent medicine in the Amazon noted for its deep cleanse and purge. It is considered to relieve the participant of all kinds of dark or illness producing energy. The sananguero shaman trains under the tutelage of their maestro drinking sanango following strict dietas over the course of years. During the dietas the shaman is expected to restrain from sexual conduct and the consumption of alcoholic beverages.
