Two days in the Amazonas from Leticia: sleep in a maloca or hammock, walk day and night trails, learn medicinal plant lore, and paddle flooded forest channels. This guided overnight adapts to water levels and immerses you in indigenous traditions.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the small plane into Leticia’s humid air and the river beyond already seems to be calling—its current nudging boats and the forest pushing back with a chorus of bird calls and distant monkey chatter.

Bring a reliable headlamp
Night walks are integral—carry fresh batteries and a headlamp for hands-free navigation through uneven trails.
Prepare for wet, muddy terrain
Trails can be flooded or slippery; rubber boots are provided but bring quick-dry socks and gaiters if you have them.
Protect against insects
Use DEET or picaridin repellent and long-sleeve shirts to reduce bites during dusk and night hikes.
Hydrate and pace yourself
High heat and humidity increase exertion—carry a reusable water bottle and sip regularly rather than waiting until thirsty.
Rubber boots (worn-in or socks to wear with provided boots)
Essential for muddy and flooded trails—organizers supply boots but bring comfortable socks for long wear.
Headlamp with extra batteries
Hands-free light is required for night hikes and moving around camp after dark.
Long-sleeve quick-dry shirt and convertible pants
Lightweight coverage protects from sun and mosquitoes while drying fast in humid conditions.
Insect repellent (DEET or picaridin)
High mosquito activity makes effective repellent one of the most important items to bring.
