DAY 1 • BOGOTA

Upon your arrival at El Dorado International Airport, assistance and private transfer to the hotel with a Spanish-speaking driver. Check-in and accommodation.

DAY 2 • BOGOTA - LETICIA

At the scheduled time, pick-up at the hotel for the transfer to the airport, where passengers will board their flight to Leticia. Upon arrival, they will be received and accompanied to take the public boat transportation to the Calanoa Nature Reserve.

As an introduction to the adventure, a nighttime walk through the primary forest of the reserve will be offered, guided by local native experts who, with their ancestral knowledge, will show the fascinating nocturnal life of this ecosystem. The sounds of thousands of insects, the croaking of frogs, owls, and nocturnal monkeys, the plants that bloom in the dark, and the bioluminescent fungi will reveal the magic of the jungle that never sleeps. After this unique experience, accommodation will be provided at the reserve.

Note: It is important to note that the service includes land and river transport, as well as lunch and dinner (depending on the flight time, lunch may or may not be included). For the public boat transfer to be possible, the flight must match the boat schedules, which operate until 2:00 pm.

Public boat schedule:

Leticia to Calanoa: 7 am, 9 am, 12 pm, 2 pm.

Calanoa to Leticia: 7:30 am, 10:30 am, 2 pm, 4 pm.

If passengers arrive after the last boat’s departure time, they will overnight in Leticia at Waira Suites or a similar hotel, and the included activities will be rearranged.

DAY 3 • LETICIA

In the morning, visit a nearby indigenous village (El Vergel or Mocagua) to learn about the daily life of its people. In the afternoon, take a walk through the Calanoa Nature Reserve to the Matamata Creek, which borders the Amacayacu National Park, where a canoe will pick you up to return by water to Calanoa (if water levels allow). You will be able to observe landscapes of high jungle and creeks, birds, monkeys, and possibly some mammals, as well as learn about plant adaptations, medicinal plants, and legends and myths from the indigenous perspective of the forest. During the high-water season, you can navigate through the flooded forest, a truly amazing experience. Accommodation included.

DAY 4 • LETICIA

In the morning, hike in Mocagua Island, considered part of the Amacayacu National Park, with unique species of flora and fauna, where you will see lakes with the beautiful Victoria Amazonica, the largest lotus in the world. In high waters the tour is done by canoe. In the afternoon, departure by boat to the Peruvian margin in search of pink dolphins and to enjoy the sunset from the Amazon, always different and with all the colors of the universe. Lodging.

DAY 5 • LETICIA - BOGOTA

In the morning, there is the possibility to wake up at 5:30 a.m. for birdwatching. Return to Leticia on the first public boat of the morning, at 7:30 a.m. We can offer a city tour and visit to the Ethnographic Museum of the Banco de la República (if your departure is from Monday to Saturday, as everything is closed in Leticia on Sundays).

Transfer to Leticia airport, according to your flight itinerary to Bogotá. Upon arrival in the city, you will be picked up at El Dorado International Airport and taken to the hotel in private transportation. Check-in and accommodation.

DAY 6 • BOGOTA

At the scheduled time, we will depart towards Monserrate Hill. We will ascend via the funicular or cable car to the top of the mountain, where a panoramic view of the city can be enjoyed. We will then continue to the Gold Museum, home to the largest collection of pre-Hispanic goldwork in the world. The tour will conclude with a scenic walking tour through the Historic Center, where the main architectural, historical, and cultural landmarks of Bogotá will be explored, such as the Colón Theater, San Carlos Palace, Bolívar Square, and the Primada Cathedral of Colombia.

Note: The Gold Museum is closed on Mondays and will be replaced with the Botero Museum. On Sundays and holidays, there is an increase in the number of local visitors, so it is recommended to purchase the Fast Pass supplement for Monserrate.

ITINERARY

There are two seasons in the Amazon: high-water and low-water. From December to June, water levels are higher, allowing for more aquatic activities. From July to November, water levels decrease, making hiking more accessible. Each season is beautiful; we have designed an itinerary you will enjoy regardless of water levels. You can trust that our guides will always take you to experience the best of each season.
There is no internet in the area. TIGO service works intermittently, with limited coverage sufficient for sending text messages.
Electricity is generated by solar panels. Please avoid using high-consumption electrical devices such as hair dryers, as they can use up a full day’s solar energy.
Temperatures drop by approximately 7°C at night, making the environment very comfortable. The architecture is designed to promote natural ventilation. The proximity to the forest and the river breeze also help keep the area cool.
There are no water heaters; however, the water temperature is approximately 26°C (79°F).
Menus are available for different diets and/or allergies; please inform us in advance.
It is important that passengers are able to get in and out of a boat.
