Leticia: Amazon Jungle Survival Tour with Ticuna Natives｜Colombia

Please kindly recheck the pickup details, meeting point, and session time stated on the voucher for your selected package.

Embark on an expedition into the heart of the Amazon and live an authentic survival experience guided by Ticuna natives. Walk through lush primary rainforest, discover its fascinating wildlife, and learn about the medicinal properties of Amazonian plants used to treat illnesses, while gaining traditional knowledge that connects you with nature.

This tour doesn’t follow a strict itinerary — because it’s the jungle, daily activities depend on the weather, river levels, and natural conditions of the season. Every experience is unique, adapting to what the Amazon offers each day.

During this 4-day adventure, you’ll hike through the jungle for 2–3 hours each day, observe wildlife and plants, go night fishing or search for glowing mushrooms, and take part in cultural exchanges with Ticuna guides. Each night, you’ll sleep in hammocks with mosquito nets at different jungle camps, fully immersed in the sounds of the forest.

On the final day, participate in a handicraft and painting workshop, enjoy a traditional jungle lunch, and, depending on the season, return to Leticia either by boat (January–June, rainy season) or on foot back to the road (July–December, dry season), where private transport will take you safely to Leticia by afternoon.

Entering the Jungle with the Right Mindset

Entering primary rainforest is not like visiting a zoo or a conventional tourist attraction. The jungle has its own rhythms, mysteries, and challenges. For this reason, it is important to enter with a good attitude, an open mind, humility, and respect for the forest and its people.

According to Ticuna traditions and beliefs, the way you enter the jungle matters. When travelers arrive with respect, a positive attitude, and without demanding or putting pressure on the guides to see animals, the forest may “receive them well,” revealing its biodiversity and helping them avoid potential dangers. For us, this is an important part of understanding the jungle: you do not enter to demand an experience from the forest—you enter to listen, observe, respect, and let the jungle reveal itself.
