Embark on a one-day boat tour through one of the most beautiful lake systems you will discover in the Amazon. Explore its ecosystem and enjoy its spectacular views in the company of our outstanding native guides. This is the best option for a short visit to the Amazon.
The tour begins at 9:00 am departing from our hostel Casa de las Palmas, located on the Carrera 11 Calle 13-110 in Leticia, Amazonas, Colombia. The first activity is a boat ride of about 8 kilometers, exploring the Yahuarcaca lakes and various areas of the flooded jungle. There are opportunities during this 3-4 hours journey to observe local wildlife, such as monkeys, birds and reptiles, among others.
Once the tour is completed, you will visit a local house, where you can have lunch and take a short break.
After the break you will discover the “walking tree” or Renaco, followed by a visit to a reserve along the Amazon River, where there is an opportunity to learn about the Victoria Regia plant or Water Lily. After the visit to the reserve you will return to the main lake, where you can swim, observe wildlife, fish, and wait for a colorful sunset to finish the tour.
Note: Please be aware that the sequence of activities might be subject to change based on weather conditions or decisions made by the guides to ensure the best possible experience and safety.

What to bring to the jungle?
Middle size backpack, water bottle, sunscreen, repellent, flashlights and any additional items you may need, such as change of clothes or food.
What to wear in the jungle tour?
Dress in comfortable clothes that you can wear during the tours, because you must bear in mind that in several of them are made long walks in the middle of the jungle. We recommend the use of long sleeve shirt and long pants to avoid insect bites. Avoid the use of leggings, as they do not provide as much protection in the jungle. Finally, in terms of clothing, avoid the use of black, since it can attract mosquitoes.
