  In this article we discuss a scheme of teleportation of atomic states making
use of three-level lambda atoms. The experimental realization proposed makes
use of cavity QED involving the interaction of Rydberg atoms with a micromaser
cavity prepared in a coherent state. We start presenting a scheme to prepare
atomic EPR states involving two-level atoms via the interaction of these atoms
with a cavity. In our scheme the cavity and some atoms play the role of
auxiliary systems used to achieve the teleportation.
