Itinerary
This full-day adventure will start early. Our expert guide will pick you up at your hotel in Leticia and take you to a local community and reserve, where the tour will take place.
You and your guide will walk through the forest to observe and learn about the various species in the region, including frogs, monkeys, birds, and much more. You’ll reach the Takana River, where you’ll have the chance to cool off with a refreshing swim—and who knows, you may encounter more wildlife along the way. Next, you’ll head to Maloka Cuchira, a local community, where you’ll enjoy a traditional lunch followed by a short rest. At the end of the day, you’ll take part in a fascinating talk about the community’s ancestral traditions and sacred plants, learning about their deep connection to nature.
Once the tour finishes you will walk back again to the first stop and from there the guide will take you to the hotel.

Traveler reviews
Amazing time
Had the most amazing experience here!! My boyfriend loved mambear with the muira and the other guest. Visiting the squirrel monkeys was an amazing experience and one that will last in my memory forever. Thank you so much for this amazing tour and the experience of a lifetime.
Very good ride
If it was a very good walk, everything was very good, perfect with our guide Gerardo, despite the rain this afternoon Thank you all.
Wonderful exploration of the Amazon
We spent two fantastic days exploring the splendor of the Amazon with Edwin. Edwin thought ahead on everything - he always had plenty of water, lunch was amazing and he steered us around any crowds. Edwin is a budding ornithologist and deciphered many rare bird calls, helping us to spot some amazing species. Be prepared for the exploration by wearing lightweight clothes that protect you from bugs and the sun. This trip far exceeded our expectations- thank you!
Amazon Trek In Leticia
Had the best tour trekking deep into the Amazon in flooded terrain with my guides Elsa and Danni. Had the pleasure of spending the afternoon with the people from Maloka Wayruru and hear stories from the elders. They provided an amazing lunch. They were very welcoming and even made us special handmade gifts. I definitely recommend this tour if you want to see and feel the terrain. I did this tour solo, Elsa my tour guide spoke very well in English and kept checking up to see if things were good, definitely recommend to have her tag along. This is a must do if travelling into Leticia 100%.
