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.

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!

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%.
Thank you for sharing such an incredible experience! Trekking deep into the Amazon and connecting with the community at Maloka Wayruru sounds truly unforgettable. We're so happy to hear that Elsa and Danni made you feel supported and welcomed throughout the journey, especially as a solo traveler. We'll be sure to share your kind words with Elsa! It's great that you got to enjoy a delicious lunch, receive handmade gifts, and hear stories from the elders — those are the kinds of moments that stay with you forever. Thank you for choosing Gran Colombia Tours, and we hope to welcome you back for more adventures in Colombia!
