This private five-day journey starts in Leticia and moves deep into the rainforest around Puerto Narino. Days combine guided canopy treks, quiet river travel, wildlife watching at Tarapoto Lake, and a flooded-forest kayak, with nights in ancestral cabins, a lakeside cabin, and a simple hotel in town.
The route also crosses into the Peruvian Amazon for a focused wildlife outing, then returns for community time at Mocagua and the Maikuchiga sanctuary. Logistics stay private from airport or hotel pickup through to your final transfer back to Leticia.
Groups stay small so the pace can flex around wildlife, weather, and how the group is feeling on the trail or water. Guides work these rivers and trails regularly and coordinate lodging with indigenous family-managed cabins rather than large resorts.
Rubber boots and rain ponchos are loaned for the walks, and pickup points are confirmed per booking so your arrival into Leticia lines up cleanly with the first river transfer. The emphasis is unhurried exploration across Colombia, Peru, and the wider triple-border rainforest, not a packed coach schedule.
Your private pickup meets you at Leticia airport or your hotel, then you travel by boat toward Puerto Narino as the town falls away into rainforest river corridors. The afternoon settles you into an ancestral eco-cabin managed with local hosts, with time to absorb the sounds of the forest before dark.
Lunch and dinner are included so you can focus on settling in rather than logistics. Your guide outlines the days ahead and answers practical questions about boots, night walks, and what to keep dry for the river sections.
After exploring the Wochine Reserve, you trek under the canopy of Amacayacu National Park on guided forest paths. The walking is immersive and humid, with time to notice plants, birds, and the scale of the rainforest around you.
By late afternoon you reach Tarapoto Lake, a protected Ramsar wetland, and settle into a private lake cabin for the night. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included as you trade trail noise for still water and evening quiet.
Cross into the Peruvian Amazon for a private wildlife outing focused on sloths in quieter habitat, with your guide reading the forest for movement and resting animals. Keep your passport to hand for the border formalities that frame this signature day.
Later you return for a cultural immersion walk through Puerto Narino, taking in the riverside town at a slower pace. Overnight is at Hotel Wikungo with breakfast, lunch, and dinner included.
Visit the Mocagua community and Maikuchiga sanctuary to learn about primate conservation and the people who steward this stretch of forest. The morning is about connection and context as much as wildlife viewing.
In the afternoon you paddle a kayak through flooded forest channels, moving quietly between trunks and reflections. Return to Hotel Wikungo for a final night in Puerto Narino with full board included.
Enjoy a calm final morning before boarding the river transfer back to Leticia. Breakfast is included, and the boat journey offers one last look at the waterways that shaped the week.
Your airport transfer is coordinated so the trip closes cleanly around your departure time. Keep a dry layer handy for the boat breeze and leave loaned boots with the team at the end of the journey.
Private pickup is arranged from Leticia airport or your hotel in town. When a day starts on the water, meeting points at local docks are confirmed with you after booking.
From Leticia you travel by boat toward Puerto Narino and the rainforest lodgings used on this itinerary. Pack soft bags where possible, keep your passport accessible for the Peru day, and bring a headlamp for night walks.
Expect moderate daily activity rather than a technical expedition. You will walk jungle trails that can be muddy or rooty, spend time in boats, and paddle a kayak through calm flooded forest, with rest built into the evenings at cabin and hotel stays.
If you can manage several hours outdoors in humid heat and are happy to move at a guided group pace, you should be fine. Tell the team about any mobility limits before you travel so days can be paced sensibly.
The programme is designed as a private immersion for your own party, with a maximum of seven people so the days stay quiet and flexible. That keeps wildlife approaches and cabin nights more personal than a large shared tour.
Your guide team coordinates pickup, river transfers, and lodging around your group alone, rather than merging you into a mass departure.
Yes. The itinerary includes a cross-border outing into the Peruvian Amazon for wildlife watching, so a valid passport is required. Keep it accessible on that day rather than packed deep in your bag.
The team handles the practical coordination of the crossing as part of the guided day, but immigration rules still apply to every guest.
Common highlights include pink dolphins around Tarapoto Lake, sloths on the Peru wildlife outing, and primates linked to the Maikuchiga sanctuary visit. Birdlife and forest mammals are possible on canopy treks, though sightings always depend on season, weather, and luck.
Guides move quietly and choose routes for the best chance of encounters without chasing animals. Bring binoculars or a zoom lens if you have them.
Day one includes lunch and dinner at the ancestral cabin. Days two to four include breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with nights split between the lake cabin and Hotel Wikungo in Puerto Narino. Day five includes breakfast before the return to Leticia.
Lodging mixes community-managed eco-cabins for immersion nights with a simple hotel base for the Puerto Narino days. Standards are comfortable and practical rather than luxury resort style.
Rubber boots and rain ponchos are provided on loan for jungle walks. You should bring thick long socks for the boots, a headlamp or flashlight for night explorations, light long clothing, sunscreen, insect repellent, sunglasses, swimwear, and a passport.
A compact dry bag helps on boat days. Soft luggage is easier on river transfers than hard cases.
Private pickup is arranged from Leticia airport or your hotel in town, with dock meetings used when the day starts on the water. Exact timing is confirmed after booking so it matches your arrival.
The first day continues by boat toward Puerto Narino and the ancestral cabin. On the final morning you return by river to Leticia with an airport transfer coordinated for your departure.
Rainforest weather changes quickly, and light rain is normal. Guides adapt trail and boat plans around storms and water levels while keeping the spirit of the day intact where it is safe to do so.
If conditions make a section unsafe, the team will adjust the order of activities or choose an alternative outing and keep you updated on the day.
The flooded-forest kayak is a guided, scenic paddle rather than white water. Calm water and close guide support make it suitable for guests who are new to kayaking but happy to be on the water.
If you have never paddled before, say so in advance so the team can brief you clearly and keep the outing relaxed.
A formal minimum age is not stated on the current product details, so please ask the team before booking if you are travelling with children or teenagers. Group size is capped at seven, which can suit private family parties when the itinerary is a good fit.
Share ages and experience levels when you enquire so the team can confirm whether the trek and kayak days will work for everyone in your group.

About the centre
Leticia
Based in Leticia on the edge of the Colombian Amazon, this small private-guide team specialises in deep-jungle journeys that stay deliberately intimate. Guests explore the rainforest on foot and by kayak, with carefully paced days that balance wildlife encounters, quiet river time, and respectful visits with local communities across the triple-border region of Colombia, Peru, and Brazil.
Nights are spent in private eco-cabins and community-managed lodges rather than large resorts, so the experience stays personal from airport pickup through to the final river transfer. Rubber boots and rain ponchos are provided on loan, groups are kept small for privacy, and logistics are coordinated around real jungle conditions so every itinerary feels unscripted rather than mass-tour.
