Depending on what time your flight arrives in Leticia it may not be possible to travel the same day to our lodge. In these cases we can book a hotel for you in Leticia and travel early the next morning to the lodge.
Please note that we do not book
flights, however we are happy to give advice and suggestions, simply send us an
email with your questions.
In most cases prior to arriving in Leticia guests will be staying in Bogota. If you would like recommendations on lodging or sites to visit feel free to ask and we will assist in any way we can.
We suggest that guests stay a minimum of 4 days and 3 nights although a 5 day/ 4 night stay will allow guests to participate in the majority of activities we offer. Of course we can organize shorter visits if necessary and longer stays are highly rocommended.
Accommodations
Visitors will be staying in one of our comfortable private cabins in the middle of the rainforest where the only access is by water. Despite our remote location guests can expect en suite restroom facilities with running water in all the cabins. Thanks to our new solar powered system guests will also be able to enjoy soft lighting in both the cabins and bathrooms, as well as be able to charge any personal electronics they may choose to take with them.
Food
Guests will be served a mixture of local and international cuisine. No need to worry about something too exotic ending up on your plate but there may be opportunities to try some interesting delicacies if you are up for it. We can make accommodations for allergies and other prohibitive diets as long as we are informed well in advance of your arrival.
