Dawn arrives slow and green in Puerto Nariño: the river breathes steam, and a small fleet of wooden canoes carves oily reflections under a sky bruised with humidity. Your guide knots the motor into gear, and within minutes the town’s painted facades slip away, replaced by a continuous wall of forest — palms, towering kapok trunks and lianas that snag at the light. This is not a sanitized eco-lodge; it’s a working rainforest where the days are measured in boat rides, canopy circuits and the hush that falls just before the night safari.
