NATURE RESERVE TUPANA ARÜ Ü is located 60 km (37 miles) from Leticia on the Paraná, a small tributary on the Colombian side of the Amazon River. When you approach the area you’ll notice that the land is elevated above the floodplain. The region is covered with dense old-growth jungle and is home to native species including large mammals, primates, birds, exotic fruits, and gigantic trees. The lodge is equipped with independent cabins with mosquito screens. Cabins include double, triple, and family rooms. There is a restaurant and bar and a classic Yagua maloca (long house) used for traditional demonstrations like dances, talks by shamans, and as a place for making handcrafts. You can also relax in hammocks and comfortable chairs while enjoying a typical local beverage in a jungle setting.

Restaurant: We offer our #ChildrenOfTheJungle guests local flavors harvested directly from organic plots planted on the premises. Meals are prepared enthusiastically by a local chef and enjoyed in an exotic setting.

Staff: Our staff members are local descendants of Amazonian tribes. They are pleasant, kind, and helpful people. Their roots are firmly planted in a cultural appreciation for nature. They are the original #ChildrenOfTheJungle and have a vast knowledge of the surrounding landscape. Even though local fauna often evades detection at first glance, and the surroundings can be daunting, our staff have developed skills that increase the likelihood of crossing paths at any moment with one or more of the species that roam the jungle.
