Amazonas
Welcome to the Amazonas!
The vast Amazonas region in Colombia covers around 35 % of the territory in the southern part of the country.
A great place and one of the unique places to visit in the Amazonas is Leticia and Puerto Nariño. Few places on earth you will find so vibrant and at the same time peaceful and authentic native communities. A journey up along the Amazonas Rivers is mindblowing. It offers the unique possibility to experience the Indian Communities of Peru and Colombia on each side of the river and explore the Amazon flora and fauna.

Indigenous communities and wildlife
COL-66 / 5-day Trip
In this proposal for an Amazonas trip, there is a particular focus on sustainable practices and the involvement of the local communities. The hotels are all owned and driven by locals from the indigenous communities. Most guides are local, and their income contributes directly to the local native population.
Despite supporting a good cause, this tour is a unique opportunity to experience life in the native communities and observe the vibrant flora and fauna.
The tour takes place along the Amazonas, and navigating on this fantastic river is just mindblowing, and the sense of exploring the stunning life in and on the river is impressive.
