Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. You get the full jungle experience, with rainforest, rivers and wildlife, without being isolated in the deep primary forest, far from the modern world. Leticia, the capital of the Amazonas department, is nearby, the people are friendly, and the area feels safe and welcoming.

The Amazon is a vast region spanning several countries, and the worries many people have about it usually have little to do with where we are. Our part of the Amazon is in Colombia, and it is one of the country's calmest and safest regions. That's why it has become a growing tourist destination in recent years.

It's really not as bad as people imagine. Mosquitoes are most active in the early morning and late afternoon, and a good repellent plus long sleeves and long pants will do the trick.

As for the wildlife, animals in the Amazon are shy and tend to avoid humans. Your guide knows the terrain and how to read the forest, so just follow their advice. A few simple habits go a long way: stay on the trail, shake out your boots before putting them on, and don't touch plants or animals you can't identify.

Very likely. Monkeys, birds, sloths and pink river dolphins are easily spotted in our area. It's nature, so we can't guarantee any particular sighting, but your guides know where and when to look.

There's no bad time. The Amazon is a rainforest, so it rains all year, and each season offers something different.

Rainy season (December to June): More rain, but also a lusher jungle and cooler temperatures. Higher water levels make it easier to reach every community by boat, and you're likely to see more pink dolphins.

Dry season: The best time for jungle trekking. It's hotter, and as the river drops, sandy beaches appear along its banks.

Whichever season you choose, pack a rain jacket.

We have lodges to suit different travel styles. Some are in or near Leticia, just a few miles away by car. Others are on the banks of the Amazon River, 1.5 to 2 hours from Leticia by boat. Transfers are available by public or private transport, depending on your lodge and budget.

You stay in comfortable cabins with private bathrooms and mosquito nets, with some luxury options available. Air conditioning is only available in Leticia, where you really need it. In the jungle it's cooler and fresher, so most guests don't miss it.

A lot: jungle treks, night walks, canoeing, fishing, visits to Indigenous communities and sunrise bird watching. Your guides will help you shape the program around your interests and energy.

Both. If you want jungle trek adventures, you can have them. If you'd rather unwind in your comfortable lodging and explore the rivers on boat tours, that works too. Many guests mix the two, and you decide the pace.

Yes, but not in the usual tourist way. More than 15 Indigenous groups live in this region, and we visit communities where we have real relationships. The families you'll meet are our friends first. We don't take guests to places where people perform for tourists, because tourism has had a mixed effect on Indigenous communities and we want every visit to be genuine and respectful on both sides. You'll share time, stories and everyday life with local families.
