Float from Leticia into Peruvian Amazonia for a two-day, one-night safari in a floating cabin—sunset river runs, guided jungle walks or canoe routes depending on the season, and a night search for caiman and nocturnal life.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Morning mist lifts off the Amazon as your boat slips away from Leticia's port, the river taking charge and pulling you toward Peruvian waters. Leaves drip like small bells, birds test the new light, and the guide—born to these channels—reads the patterns of water and wind.

Bring strong insect protection
Use DEET or picaridin and wear long sleeves in the evening; mosquitoes and sandflies are most active at dawn and dusk.
Waterproof your kit
Bring dry bags or waterproof phone cases—boats and damp cabins make electronics and papers vulnerable.
Stay hydrated and pace yourself
High humidity and early-morning activity can be tiring; carry a refillable water bottle and rest during midday heat.
Respect wildlife at night
Follow guide instructions during night safaris—do not shine bright lights into eyes or attempt to handle animals.
Insect repellent (DEET or picaridin)
Protects against mosquitoes and sandflies that are active year-round.
Light waterproof jacket
Keeps you dry during sudden tropical downpours and in wet-season canoeing.
Sturdy quick-dry hiking shoes
Provides traction on muddy trails and protection when wading shallow banks.
Headlamp with fresh batteries
Hands-free light is essential for night safaris and early-morning activities.
