Almost one-third of Colombia’s territory is covered by the Amazon Basin, an area of thick tropical forest in the southeast, with no roads and inhabited mostly by Indians. The most popular base for tourists wishing to explore the area is Leticia, a small town with well-developed tourist facilities, located on the banks of the Amazon River and close to the border with Brazil and Peru. Jungle trips, notably to the nearby Amacayu National Park, are widely available and often include visits to Indian tribes.

• Canopy. It’s hallucinating. One goes to the Tanimboca reservation, 8 kilometers from Leticia and 45 meters from the floor. It’s a platform built among trees where you can slide from one tree to another with help of a pulley . The plan is to get to meet the other jungle, the one is perceived from high where unsuspected birds, lizards and bugs lives. Finally if you are a lucky man a star shower will bring warm feelings to your heart. Again, it’s hallucinating.

• Natural Reservation Amacayacu National Park. Distant from Leticia at least 3 or 4 hours going down river. There you will find amazing eco-infrastructure that make us think that the jungle is no longer inhospitable. Comfortable lodge, hammocks, restaurant, paddling trough ravines, and fishing are some of the greatest activities.

• Hunt for Caiman. It’s very important to take a native with us. We need as well, a smooth boat, a powerful lamp, and a lot of courage. We navigate at night looking for a pair of red eyes. Once you got them on the sight they stay freeze. The native throw him self over the reptile and grave him from the neck. Then the rest of the crew can touch and see the caiman before put him back into the river.

• "Mambiar" the coca plant - To chew the coca plant: At night when all sounds of the jungle are most splendid, the Natives often sit down to chew the coca plant and listen to ancient tales, one of the most pure jungle experiences.

• Tarapoto lakes: Take a picture of a pink dolphin. It’s almost impossible, despite they live plentiful in the Amazon, they are very slippery as well.

• The island of the monkeys: An island with an army of primates coming from the trees to say hello. If you don’t dear to touch them, don’t worry, they will handled to touch you.

• Victorias Regias: The famous, the biggest floating plant on earth.

• Piranha fishing: The natives armed only with a stick and a piece of meat catch these predators so you can admire them, specially their teeth. Then we put them back into the river or lake, where they are abundant.
