Nature Reserve Tupana Arü Ü [3 Days Tour]

USD$365

Day 1

We’ll leave Leticia and head north along the Colombian side of the majestic Amazon River. After traveling approximately 60 km (37 miles) we will exit the main river and turn up the Paraná, a small tributary, where our lodge, the Tupana Arü Ü Nature Reserve, is located. The lodge is built in the middle of a classic tropical jungle. Our #ChildrenOfTheJungle will welcome you and fill you in on everything you need to know. After lunch, we will head out to explore the surrounding area. We’ll hike some trails while learning more about the rainforest. We’ll also interact with local and indigenous people to better understand their way of life. After supper we will have the unforgettable experience of discovering glowing plants, observing different animal species, and listening to the eerie sounds that begin after nightfall.

Day 2

There are no activities scheduled for the morning while we prepare for an outing into the jungle. After lunch, we will hike down a trail for several hours into the depths of the forest until we find a suitable place to make camp. We’ll hang our hammocks and mosquito nets and then explore the surroundings. In this survival-type adventure we’ll be able to listen to the incredible sounds of the nocturnal creatures in the surrounding forest.

Day 3

In the morning we’ll return to the lodge for breakfast. We’ll then follow another trail to some indigenous farms where we’ll observe their ancestral practices. A local guide will explain how they interact with the earth and how they prepare traditional foods. After lunch we will return to the bank of the Amazon where we will visit a friendly Yagua community to learn about their customs and culture. We’ll then return to Leticia.
